Allah Almighty has mentioned at several places the mutual conversation of the people of Hell, their blaming each other, and the declaration of disassociation by those who misled others from their followers. See Surah Al-Baqarah (__XREF_166__, __XREF_167__), Ibrahim (__XREF_21__, __XREF_22__), Al-A'raf (__XREF_38__, __XREF_39__), Saba (__XREF_31__ to __XREF_33__), and Al-Mu’min (__XREF_47__, __XREF_48__).
