behold god does not disdain to propound a parable of a gnat or of something less than that. now as for those who have attained to faith they know that it is the truth from their sustainer whereas those who are bent on denying the truth say what could god mean by this parable? in this way does he cause many a one to go astray just as he guides many a one aright but none does he cause thereby to go astray save the iniquitous who break their bond with god after it has been established and cut asunder what god has bidden to be joined and spread corruption on earth these it is that shall be the losers.
إن الله لا يستحيي أن يضرب مثلا ما بعوضة فما فوقها فأما الذين آمنوا فيعلمون أنه الحق من ربهم وأما الذين كفروا فيقولون ماذا أراد الله بهذا مثلا يضل به كثيرا ويهدي به كثيرا وما يضل به إلا الفاسقين الذين ينقضون عهد الله من بعد ميثاقه ويقطعون ما أمر الله به أن يوصل ويفسدون في الأرض أولئك هم الخاسرون
