And on the Day when He will gather them together and that which they worship besides Allâh [idols, angels, pious men, saints]. He will say: “Was it you who misled these My slaves or did they (themselves) stray from the (Right) Path?” (Sûrah 25. Al-Furqân - Ayah 17)



 وَيَوْمَ يَحْشُرُهُمْ وَمَا يَعْبُدُونَ مِن دُونِ اللَّهِ فَيَقُولُ أَأَنتُمْ أَضْلَلْتُمْ عِبَادِي هَٰؤُلَاءِ أَمْ هُمْ ضَلُّوا السَّبِيلَ (17)

17. And on the Day when He will gather them together and that which they worship besides Allâh [idols, angels, pious men, saints]1. He will say: Was it you who misled these My slaves or did they (themselves) stray from the (Right) Path?

(V.25:17) Narrated Muâdh bin Jabal رضى الله عنه: The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said, O Muâdh! Do you know what Allâhs Right upon His slaves is? I said, Allâh and His Messenger know better. The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said, To worship Him (Allâh) Alone and to join none in worship with Him (Allâh). Do you know what their right upon Him is? I replied, Allâh and His Messenger know better. The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said, Not to punish them (if they did so). (Sahîh Al-Bukhârî, Vol. 9, Hadîth No. 470)
