ضَرَبَ
اللَّهُ
مَثَلًا
رَّجُلًا
فِيهِ
شُرَكَاءُ
مُتَشَاكِسُونَ
وَرَجُلًا
سَلَمًا
لِّرَجُلٍ
هَلْ
يَسْتَوِيَانِ
مَثَلًا
الْحَمْدُ
لِلَّهِ
بَلْ
أَكْثَرُهُمْ
لَا
يَعْلَمُونَ
ḍaraba llāhu mathalan rajulan fīhi shurakāʾu mutashākisūna wa-rajulan salaman li-rajulin hal yastawiyāni mathalan-i l-ḥamdu li-llāhi bal ʾaktharuhum lā yaʿlamūna
Allah puts forth a Parable a man belonging to many partners at variance with each other, and a man belonging entirely to one master: are those two equal in comparison? Praise be to Allah! but most of them have no knowledge.
— Abdullah Yusufali
Allah draws an example: a man jointly owned by several contending masters, and a man belonging entirely to one man: are the two equal in comparison? All praise belongs to Allah! But most of them do not know.
