Verse (13:14)

The analysis above refers to the fourteenth verse of chapter 13 (sūrat l-raʿd):

Sahih International: To Him [alone] is the supplication of truth. And those they call upon besides Him do not respond to them with a thing, except as one who stretches his hands toward water [from afar, calling it] to reach his mouth, but it will not reach it [thus]. And the supplication of the disbelievers is not but in error [i.e. futility].
