Abu Ja`far Ar-Razi reported that Ar-Rabi` bin Anas commented on
this Ayah (2:26); "This is an example that Allah has given for
the life of this world. The mosquito lives as long as it needs
food, but when it gets fat, it dies. This is also the example of
people whom Allah mentioned in the Qur'an: when they acquire
(and collect the delights of) the life of this world, Allah then
takes them away.'' Afterwards, he recited, ﴿فَلَمَّا نَسُواْ مَا
ذُكِّرُواْ بِهِ فَتَحْنَا عَلَيْهِمْ أَبْوَابَ كُلِّ شَىْءٍ﴾
(So, when they forgot (the warning) with which they had been
reminded, We opened for them the gates of every (pleasant)
thing) (6:44) In this Ayah (2:26) Allah stated that He does not
shy away or hesitate in making an example or parable of
anything, whether the example involves a significant or an
insignificant matter. (Or so much more when it is bigger than
it) Fama fawqaha means, something bigger than the mosquito,
which is one of the most insignificant and tiniest of creatures.
