he sends down water from the sky and the valleys flow each in their measure and the torrent carries a swelling scum and fire from that which they kindle desiring ornament or ware from that rises a scum like it. as such allah strikes both the truth and the false. as for the scum it is cast away as jetsam but that which profits people remains on the earth. as such allah strikes the parables.
أنزل من السماء ماء فسالت أودية بقدرها فاحتمل السيل زبدا رابيا ومما يوقدون عليه في النار ابتغاء حلية أو متاع زبد مثله كذلك يضرب الله الحق والباطل فأما الزبد فيذهب جفاء وأما ما ينفع الناس فيمكث في الأرض كذلك يضرب الله الأمثال
