On that Day, the hypocrite males and the hypocrite females will say to those who believed: Wait for us! Let us absorb some of your light. It will be said: Go back behind you, and seek light. So a barrier will be put forth between them, whose gate separates mercy on the inner side, from retribution on the outer side.
