Among the benefits of this noble verse is the acknowledgment by the disbelievers of the oneness of Allah in lordship and that He is the One who responds to supplication, as indicated by their saying:
Our Lord, show us those who misled us ربنا أرنا الذين أضلانا
[Fussilat 41:29]
This is the speech of the disbelievers.
Among the benefits of the noble verse is that a person should, indeed, it is obligatory for him to, distance himself from bad companions, as indicated by His saying:
those who misled us of the jinn and men الذين أضلانا من الجن والإنس
[Fussilat 41:29]
The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) warned against the company of the bad, saying:
A person is upon the religion of his close friend, so let one of you look at whom he befriends المَرْء على دِين خليلِه فلينظُرْ أحدُكم مَن يُخَالِل
Al-Mustadrak lil-Hakim 33:79
meaning, he is upon the religion of his friend and his lover
so let one of you look at whom he befriendsفلينظر أحدُكم من يخالل
Jami` at-Tirmidhi 2378Hasan (Darussalam)
, and he (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
The example of the bad companion is like the bellower of the bellows; either he will burn your clothes or you will find a foul smell from him مثل الجليس السوء كنافخ الكير إما أن يُحرِق ثيابك وإما أن تَجِد منه رائحة خبيثة
Sahih Ibn Hibban 6:255
So beware of the bad companion; do not gather with him, do not befriend him, and do not entrust him with anything.
Among the benefits of the noble verse is the disavowal of the followers from the leaders on the Day of Resurrection, and this is witnessed by the saying of Allah the Exalted:
when those who have been followed disassociate themselves from those who followed [them], and they [all] see the punishment إذ تبَرَّأ الذين اتُّبِعُوا مِن الذين اتَّبَعُوا ورأوا العذاب
[Al-Baqarah 2:166]
Thus, the leaders in the verse from al-Baqarah disavow the followers, just as the followers also disavow the leaders.
Among the benefits of the noble verse is that misguidance can come from both the jinn and mankind, as indicated by His saying:
those who misled us of the jinn and men أضَلَّانا من الجن والإنس
[Fussilat 41:29]
The companionship of a human with a human is clear, and the companionship of a jinn with a human is also derived from the saying of Allah the Exalted:
And We appointed for them companions who made attractive to them what was before them and what was behind them وقيَّضْنَا لهم قرناء فزينوا لهم ما بين أيديهم وما خلفهم
[Fussilat 41:25]
.
Among the benefits of the noble verse is the intense resentment of these misguiders toward the misguiders, as indicated by His saying:
we may put them under our feet that they will be among the lowest." نجعلهما تحت أقدامنا ليكونا من الأسفلين
[Fussilat 41:29]
.
