Surah An-Nahl (16) — Ayah 27
ثُمَّ يَوْمَ ٱلْقِيَـٰمَةِ يُخْزِيهِمْ وَيَقُولُ أَيْنَ شُرَكَآءِىَ ٱلَّذِينَ كُنتُمْ تُشَـٰٓقُّونَ فِيهِمْ ۚ قَالَ ٱلَّذِينَ أُوتُوا۟ ٱلْعِلْمَ إِنَّ ٱلْخِزْىَ ٱلْيَوْمَ وَٱلسُّوٓءَ عَلَى ٱلْكَـٰفِرِينَ ﴿27﴾
Translation by Dr. Muhammad Muhsin Khan & Dr. Taqi-ud-Din al-Hilali
Then, on the Day of Resurrection, He will disgrace them and will say: "Where are My (so called) partners concerning whom you used to disagree and dispute (with the believers, by defying and disobeying Allâh)?" Those who have been given the knowledge (about the Torment of Allâh for the disbelievers) will say: "Verily! Disgrace and misery this Day are upon the disbelievers.

27. Then, on the Day of Resurrection, Allah will disgrace them [27] and will say, "Where are My partners for whose sake you used to dispute (with the believers)?" [28] Those who were given knowledge will say, "Surely, disgrace and misery are upon the disbelievers today."
[27] This was the fate of those who created obstacles in the path of truth in this world, and in the Hereafter it will be that Allah Almighty will present them before everyone and ask: "Tell Me, where are those fabricated partners of yours whom you set up against Me and about whom you always argued with My messengers in the world? Where are they today, and why are they not coming to your aid?" They will not be able to give any answer to this question, and this very thing will become a cause of disgrace for them before everyone. Then the recompense they will receive for this shirk will be extremely humiliating.
[28] That is, the polytheists will not be able to give any answer to Allah Almighty's question. A silence will descend over the entire plain of resurrection. The tongues of the disbelievers and polytheists will become mute and they will be left dumbfounded. Then, after some time, the people of knowledge, that is, the noble prophets and their followers, will address those disbelievers and polytheists and say: Did we not tell you that on the Day of Resurrection you would have to face severe disgrace and a terrible end?
