o men! here is a parable set forth! listen to it! those on whom besides allah ye call cannot create a fly if they all met together for the purpose! and if the fly should snatch away anything from them they would have no power to release it from the fly. feeble are those who petition and those whom they petition!
يا أيها الناس ضرب مثل فاستمعوا له إن الذين تدعون من دون الله لن يخلقوا ذبابا ولو اجتمعوا له وإن يسلبهم الذباب شيئا لا يستنقذوه منه ضعف الطالب والمطلوب
