Allah propounds a parable: there is a man whose ownership is shared by several quarrelsome masters, each pulling him to himself; and there is another who is exclusively owned by one man. Can the two be alike? All praise and thanks be to Allah. But most of them are unaware.
خدا مثَلى مى‌زند: مردى را كه چند تن در او شريكند و بر سر او اختلاف دارند. و مردى كه تنها از آنِ يكى باشد. آيا اين دو با هم برابرند؟ سپاس خدا را. نه، بيشترشان نمى‌دانند.
