وضرب الله مثلا رجلين احدهما ابكم لا يقدر على شيء وهو كل على مولاه اينما يوجهه لا يات بخير هل يستوي هو ومن يامر بالعدل وهو على صراط مستقيم

God sets forth (another) Parable Of two men: one of them Dumb, with no power Of any sort; a wearisome burden Is he to his master; Whichever way he directs him, He brings no good: Is such a man equal With one who commands Justice, and is on A Straight Way?
