similitude of those who reject Our signs; So relate the
story; perchance they may reflect.

P: And had We willed We could have raised him by their means, but he
clung to the earth and followed his own lust. Therefor his likeness is
as the likeness of a dog: if thou attackest him he panteth with his
tongue out, and if thou leavest him he panteth with his tongue out.
Such is the likeness of the people who deny Our revelations. Narrate
unto them the history (of the men of old), that haply they may take
thought.

S: And if We had pleased, We would certainly have exalted him thereby;
but he clung to the earth and followed his low desire, so his parable
is as the parable of the dog; if you attack him he lolls out his
tongue; and if you leave him alone he lolls out his tongue; this is the
parable of the people who reject Our communications; therefore relate
the narrative that they may reflect.

Y: Evil as an example are people who reject Our signs and wrong their
own souls.

S: Evil is the likeness of the people who reject Our communications and
are unjust to their own souls.

S: Whomsoever Allah guides, he is the one who follows the right way; and
whomsoever He causes to err, these are the losers.

Y: Many are the jinns and men we have made for Hell: They have hearts
wherewith they understand not, eyes wherewith they see not, and ears
wherewith they hear not. They are like cattle,- nay more misguided: for
they are heedless (of warning).

P: Already have We urged unto hell many of the jinn and humankind,
having hearts wherewith they understand not, and having eyes wherewith
they see not, and having ears wherewith they hear not. These are as the
cattle - nay, but they are worse! These are the neglectful.

S: And certainly We have created for hell many of the jinn and the men;
they have hearts with which they do not understand, and they have eyes
with which they do not see, and they have ears with which they do not
hear; they are as cattle, nay, they are in worse errors; these are the
heedless ones.
