Seest thou not how Allah sets forth a parable? - A goodly word like a goodly tree, whose root is firmly fixed, and its branches (reach) to the heavens,- of its Lord. So Allah sets forth parables for men, in order that they may receive admonition.

Allah sets forth the Parable (of two men: one) a slave under the dominion of another; He has no power of any sort; and (the other) a man on whom We have bestowed goodly favours from Ourselves, and he spends thereof (freely), privately and publicly: are the two equal? (By no means;) praise be to Allah. But most of them understand not.

He does propound to you a similitude from your own (experience): do ye have partners among those whom your right hands possess, to share as equals in the wealth We have bestowed on you? Do ye fear them as ye fear each other? Thus do we explain the Signs in detail to a people that understand.

Allah puts forth a Parable a man belonging to many partners at variance with each other, and a man belonging entirely to one master: are those two equal in comparison? Praise be to Allah! but most of them have no knowledge.

When news is brought to one of them of (the birth of) what he sets up as a likeness to (Allah) Most Gracious, his face darkens, and he is filled with inward grief!

Allah sets forth, for an example to the Unbelievers, the wife of Noah and the wife of Lut: they were (respectively) under two of our righteous servants, but they were false to their (husbands), and they profited nothing before Allah on their account, but were told: "Enter ye the Fire along with (others) that enter!"

难道你不知道真主有过这样一个比喻吗？一句良言，好比一棵优良的树，其根柢是深固的，其枝条高耸入云，

真主打一个比喻：一个奴隶，不能自由处理任何事务，一个自由人，我赏赐他忧厚的给养，而他秘密地和公开地加以施舍；他们俩人是一样的吗？一切赞颂，全归真主！但他们大半不知道。

他为你们而就你们自身设一个譬喻；难道你们准许你们的奴婢与你们共同享受我赏赐你们的给养，而你们与他们完全平等，你们畏惧他们，犹如你们互相畏惧一样吗？我这样为能了解的民众解释我的迹象。

真主设一个譬喻：一个奴隶为许多纷争的伙计所共有；又有一个奴隶专归一个主人；这两个奴隶的情状相等吗？一切赞颂，全归真主！不然，他们大半不知道。

他们妄言至仁主有女儿，但他们中的一个人听说自己的妻子生女儿的时候，他的脸色变成暗淡的，而且他是拗怒的。

真主以努哈的妻子和鲁特的妻子，为不信道的人们的殷鉴，她们俩曾在我的两个行善的仆人之下，而她们俩不忠於自己的丈夫，她们俩的丈夫，未能为她们俩抵御真主的一点刑罚。或者将说：“你们俩与众人同入火狱吧！”
