Yunus 18

وَيَعْبُدُونَ مِنْ دُونِ اللّٰهِ مَا لَا يَضُرُّهُمْ وَلَا يَنْفَعُهُمْ وَيَقُولُونَ هٰٓؤُ۬لَٓاءِ شُفَعَٓاؤُ۬نَا عِنْدَ اللّٰهِۜ قُلْ اَتُنَبِّؤُ۫نَ اللّٰهَ بِمَا لَا يَعْلَمُ فِي السَّمٰوَاتِ وَلَا فِي الْاَرْضِۜ سُبْحَانَهُ وَتَعَالٰى عَمَّا يُشْرِكُونَ ۝١٨

18They serve those they place between themselves and Allah, who can neither benefit nor harm them, saying: "These are our intercessors with Allah." Say: —Are you informing Allah of something in the heavens or on the earth that He does not know? Allah is free of and far above the partners they associate with Him.
