Al-Hajj 22:73 يا ايها الناس ضرب مثل فاستمعوا له ان الذين تدعون من دون الله لن يخلقوا ذبابا ولو اجتمعوا له وان يسلبهم الذباب شييا لا يستنقذوه منه ضعف الطالب والمطلوب ٧٣
يَٰٓأَيُّهَا
ٱلنَّاسُ
ضُرِبَ
مَثَلٞ
فَٱسۡتَمِعُواْ
لَهُۥٓۚ
إِنَّ
ٱلَّذِينَ
تَدۡعُونَ
مِن
دُونِ
ٱللَّهِ
لَن
يَخۡلُقُواْ
ذُبَابٗا
وَلَوِ
ٱجۡتَمَعُواْ
لَهُۥۖ
وَإِن
يَسۡلُبۡهُمُ
ٱلذُّبَابُ
شَيۡـٔٗا
لَّا
يَسۡتَنقِذُوهُ
مِنۡهُۚ
ضَعُفَ
ٱلطَّالِبُ
وَٱلۡمَطۡلُوبُ

O mankind! A similitude has been coined, so listen to it (carefully): Verily those on whom you call besides Allâh, cannot create (even) a fly, even though they combine together for the purpose. And if the fly snatches away a thing from them, they will have no power to release it from the fly. So weak are (both) the seeker and the sought.
