Quran 43:36 — Az-Zukhruf, verse 36
M. A. S. Abdel Haleem · selected translation
We assign an evil one as a comrade for whoever turns away from the revelations of the Lord of Mercy:
وَمَنْ يَعْشُ عَنْ ذِكْرِ الرَّحْمَـٰنِ نُقَيِّضْ لَهُ شَيْطَانًا فَهُوَ لَهُ قَرِينٌ
waman yaʿshu ʿan dhik'ri l-raḥmāni nuqayyiḍ lahu shayṭānan fahuwa lahu qarīnun

- But as for anyone who chooses to remain blind to the remembrance of the Most Gracious, to him We assign an [enduring] evil impulse, to become his other self:
