The story
God describes the state of the people of the Fire: fetters are cast upon their necks and they are veiled from before them and behind them so they do not see, and Hell is a lure for the shayatin; then a dialogue runs between the sinner and his qareen — the qareen says «this is what I have prepared», that is, this is the punishment I readied for you, and the qareen pleads «our Lord, I did not send him astray but he was in far error» — meaning I did not drive him to disobedience, he was himself in far error 1 Qaf 23 Qaf 27.
The meaning
In these ayahs is a dialogue between the sinner and his qareen on the Last Day: he is shown what was prepared for him of punishment, and the qareen pleads that he did not drive him astray but he was in far error 1.
Notes
From the ayahs of the Fire and the qareen in the Qur'an; the Jinn & Devils Browser shows it in the devils and jinn sections 1.
