wa-ʾidhā ṣurifat ʾabṣāruhum tilqāʾa ʾaṣhābi n-nāri qālū rabbanā lā tajʿalnā maʿa l-qawmi ẓ-ẓālimīna
And when their look is turned toward the inmates of the Fire, they will say, ‘Our Lord, do not put us among the wrongdoing lot!’)
— Ali Quli Qarai
Surah Al-‘A’raf, Verse 47
47. "And when their eyes shall be turned toward the inhabitants of the Fire, they shall say: 'Our Lord! Place us not with the unjust people."
The people of 'A'raf will look at the inhabitants of Heaven and recognize them and greet them, but they will not look at the inhabitants of Hell while their eyes shall be turned down
In their supplications, the people of' A'raf do not ask Allah not to set them as the inhabitants of Fire, but they ask Him not to place them with the unjust people.
As if, being companion with an unjust person is worse than being in fire. ('Alusi) O' Lord! If you do not let us enter Paradise, yet do not muster us amongst the unjust people.
