(O Prophet), propound to them the parable of the present life: it is like the vegetation of the earth which flourished luxuriantly when it mingled with the water that We sent down from the sky, but after that the same vegetation turned into stubble which the winds blew about. Allah alone has the power over all things.
و براى آنان زندگى دنيا را مَثَل بزن كه مانند آبى است كه آن را از آسمان فرو فرستاديم؛ سپس گياه زمين با آن درآميخت و [چنان‌] خشك گرديد كه بادها پراكنده‌اش كردند، و خداست كه همواره بر هر چيزى تواناست.
