[61] Then this group of followers will turn their attention away from their leaders and will appeal to their Lord, saying: "These are the people who led us astray and were the cause of our coming here into Hell. Therefore, O our Lord, give them double the punishment compared to us." But this plea of theirs will merely be a childish consolation and a way to relieve the longing of their hearts, which will be of no benefit.
