Al-Hajj-13, Quran Recitation by Abu Bakr al Shatri

Truly they call upon him whose harm is nearer (more) than his profit. How evil of a companion (helper) and how evil of a friend (what they worship).

He calleth upon him whose hurt is nearer than his profit: surely ill the patron! ill the comrade!

He invokes someone whose harm is surely likelier than his benefit. An evil ally indeed, and an evil companion!

He even invokes the being that is far more likely to cause harm than benefit: what evil a patron, and what evil an associate!

They pray to him whose bane is more imminent than his boon: How bad the protector and how bad the associate!

They worship one from whom harm is expected more than the benefit; indeed what an evil master and indeed what an evil friend!

He calls upon him whose harm is much more likely than his good. How evil is this false god to be his patron and how evil is (he to be) his associate!

He calls upon him who is likelier to hurt him, rather than to profit him -- an evil protector indeed, he, an evil friend!

He calls, besides Allah, on what can neither harm him nor profit him - that is a wide error.

He calls unto him whose harm is nearer than his profit; certainly, and evil Maula (patron) and certainly an evil friend!

He calls besides Allah on that which harms him not, nor benefits him; that is straying far.

He calls upon him whose harm is nearer than his profit; evil certainly is the guardian and evil certainly is the associate.

He calleth unto him whose harm is nearer than his benefit; verily an evil patron and verily an evil friend!

Their worship of such things, in which there is no hope for any benefit, can only harm them. How terrible is such a guardian and companion!

He calls upon him whose harm is nearer than his benefit, an evil guide and an evil friend.

He invokes one whose harm is closer than his benefit - how wretched the protector and how wretched the associate.

They worship one from whom harm is expected more than the benefit; indeed what an evil master and indeed what an evil friend!

He invokes one whose harm is closer than his benefit. What a miserable master. What a miserable companion.

he calls on that which would sooner harm than help. Such a patron is indeed evil and such a companion is indeed evil.

(Perhaps) they call on one whose hurt is nearer than his profit: evil, indeed, is the patron, and evil the companion (or help)!
