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

How feeble are the petitioners and how feeble are those they petition!
