سُوْرَةُ الْكَهْفِ
Surah Al-Kahf (18) — Ayah 52
وَيَوْمَ يَقُولُ نَادُوا۟ شُرَكَآءِىَ ٱلَّذِينَ زَعَمْتُمْ فَدَعَوْهُمْ فَلَمْ يَسْتَجِيبُوا۟ لَهُمْ وَجَعَلْنَا بَيْنَهُم مَّوْبِقًا ﴿52﴾
Translation by Dr. Muhammad Muhsin Khan & Dr. Taqi-ud-Din al-Hilali
And (remember) the Day He will say: "Call those (so-called) partners of Mine whom you pretended." Then they will cry unto them, but they will not answer them, and We shall put a Maubiq (barrier) between them.

Tafsir al-Quran al-Karim — Hafiz Abdus Salam Bin Muhammad Bhutvi
Tafsir al-Quran al-Karim is a 4-volume Quran commentary by Hafiz Abdus Salam bin Muhammad Bhutvi, a renowned Salafi (Ahl al-Hadith) scholar and Sheikh ul-Hadith from Pakistan. Based on over 45 years of teaching and research, this tafsir follows the methodology of Tafsir bil-Ma'thur — interpreting the Quran through authentic Hadith, statements of the Companions, and the understanding of the early generations (Salaf). It is distinguished by its complete avoidance of Israeliyyat (Judeo-Christian narratives) and unverified reports. The tafsir is originally written in Urdu, translated to English by tohed.com.
(Ayah 52) ➊ { وَ يَوْمَ يَقُوْلُ نَادُوْا شُرَكَآءِيَ …:} That is, mention to these polytheists the day when Allah will say: Call upon My partners whom you used to consider as My associates. They will call upon them, but far from helping them, they will not even respond to them. See Qasas (62–64), Fatir (13, 14), Ahqaf (5, 6), Maryam (81, 82), An'am (94), and Ibrahim (22).
➋ {وَ جَعَلْنَا بَيْنَهُمْ مَّوْبِقًا : ’’ وَبَقَ يَبِقُ ‘‘} (ض، ع) on the pattern of {’’ وَرَثَ ‘‘ } to be destroyed, that is, We will make a place of destruction between these polytheists and those whom they used to consider as deities in the world, so that it will not be possible for them to reach one another.
