 And when they meet those who believe they say, We believe, and when they are apart one with another they say: Do you talk to them of what God has disclosed to you that they may contend with you by this before your Lord? Do you not understand?  Do they not know that God knows what they keep secret and what they make known?  And some of them are illiterate; they know not the Book but only (from) hearsay, and they do but conjecture.  Woe! then to those who write the Book with their hands then say, This is from God; so that they may take for it a small price. So woe! to them for what their hands write and woe! to them for what they earn.  And they say: Fire will not touch us but for a few days. Say Have you received a promise from God? Then God will not fail to perform His promise. Or do you speak against God. what you know not?  Yea, whoever earns evil and his sins beset him on every side, those are the companions of the Fire therein they abide."
