Qur'an 96:19 Al-'Alaq

كَلَّا لَا تُطِعْهُ وَٱسْجُدْ وَٱقْتَرِب ۩

No! Do not obey him. But prostrate and draw near [to Allah].

What it says

The last word goes to the man who was being stopped, not to the man doing the stopping. He is told to ignore him, to put his face on the ground, and to come closer, which is the exact act the whole quarrel was about.
