حَتَّىٰٓ إِذَا جَآءَنَا قَالَ يَٰلَيۡتَ بَيۡنِي وَبَيۡنَكَ بُعۡدَ ٱلۡمَشۡرِقَيۡنِ فَبِئۡسَ ٱلۡقَرِينُ ٣٨

Until, when he comes to Us [at Judgement], he says [to his companion], "How I wish there was between me and you the distance between the east and west; and what a wretched companion."

Brief commentary

Until when the one who turns away from the remembrance of Allah will come to Him on the Day of Judgement, he will longingly say, “O companion! If only there had been the distance of the east and west between you and I! You were such a disgraceful companion!”
