Partners In Crime [In The Worldly Life] Disown Each Other When It Will Be Too Late!

Allaah (The Most High) said:

وَقَالَ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا رَبَّنَا أَرِنَا اللَّذَيْنِ أَضَلَّانَا مِنَ الْجِنِّ وَالْإِنسِ نَجْعَلْهُمَا تَحْتَ أَقْدَامِنَا لِيَكُونَا مِنَ الْأَسْفَلِينَ

And those who disbelieve will say: “Our Lord! Show us those among jinns and men who led us astray, we shall crush them under our feet, so that they become the lowest.” [41:29]

[وَقَالَ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا  – And those who disbelieve will say]- that is those who were followers amongst them (will say) out of resentment towards those who misguided them:

[رَبَّنَا أَرِنَا اللَّذَيْنِ أَضَلَّانَا مِنَ الْجِنِّ وَالْإِنسِ  – Our Lord! Show us those among jinns and men who led us astray]; that is the group who led them to misguidance and punishment – the devils amongst the Jinn, Mankind and the callers to the hell fire.

[نَجْعَلْهُمَا تَحْتَ أَقْدَامِنَا لِيَكُونَا مِنَ الْأَسْفَلِينَ   – we shall crush them under our feet, so that they become the lowest]; that is to be humiliated and disgraced, just as they misguided us and put us to trial and became the cause behind [our stay in this place of ours (i.e. the fire)].

This ayah shows their resentment and declaring their innocence from one another.
