[22].Surah Al-Hajj [The Pilgrimage]: Ayat 8-9



Ayat 8. And among men is he who disputes about Allah, without knowledge or guidance, or a Book giving light (from Allah),
Ayat 9. Bending his neck in pride (far astray from the Path of Allah), and leading (others) too (far) astray from the Path of Allah. For him there is disgrace in this worldly life, and on the Day of Resurrection We shall make him taste the torment of burning (Fire).
[Tafseer] Yet there is among men such a one as disputes about Allah, without Knowledge, without Guidance, and without a Book of Enlightenment, For "Book of Enlightenment" see Surah Al-Imran Ayat 184. "knowledge" to mean here their human knowledge or intelligence, "guidance" to mean divine guidance, such as comes from Allah or prophets of Allah or a revelation from Allah, and the "Book of Enlightenment" to mean the fundamental guide to good conduct, the clear rules laid down in all Dispensations to help men lead good lives. The "Book of Enlightenment" may mean a  revealed Book in which case "Guidance" would refer to divine guidance through a prophet of Allah. (Disdainfully) bending his side, in order to lead (men)  astray from the Path of Allah. for him there is disgrace in this life, and on the Day of Judgment We shall make him taste the  Penalty of burning (Fire). Some Commentators think this refers to Abu Jahl, but the words are perfectly general, and this type of man is common in all ages. The same may be said about verse 3 above: Commentators give the immediate reference to one al Nadr ibn al Harith.
Hazrat Anas (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Messenger of Allah [SAWW](PBUH) used to supplicate: "Allahumma inni a`udhu bika minal-ajzi wal-kasali, wal-jubni wal-harami, wal-bukhli, wa a`udhu bika min `adhabil-qabri, wa a`udhu bika min fitnatil-mahya wal-mamat [O Allah! I seek refuge in You from helplessness (to do good), indolence, cowardice, senility, and miserliness; and I seek Your Protection against the torment of the grave and the trials of life and death].'' Another narration adds: "wa dala`id-daini wa ghalabatir-rijal (And from the burden of indebtedness and the tyranny of men).''
[Muslim Book 35, Chapter 14, Hadith # 6536] 
Lesson : as mentioned above in Surah Al-Hajj Ayat 09."We shall make him taste the torment of burning (Fire).This prayer is also very comprehensive. It is this mischief against which Allah's Protection has been sought through this prayer.
