Al-Jumu'ah 62:5 مثل الذين حملوا التوراة ثم لم يحملوها كمثل الحمار يحمل اسفارا بيس مثل القوم الذين كذبوا بايات الله والله لا يهدي القوم الظالمين ٥
مَثَلُ
ٱلَّذِينَ
حُمِّلُواْ
ٱلتَّوۡرَىٰةَ
ثُمَّ
لَمۡ
يَحۡمِلُوهَا
كَمَثَلِ
ٱلۡحِمَارِ
يَحۡمِلُ
أَسۡفَارَۢاۚ
بِئۡسَ
مَثَلُ
ٱلۡقَوۡمِ
ٱلَّذِينَ
كَذَّبُواْ
بِـَٔايَٰتِ
ٱللَّهِۚ
وَٱللَّهُ
لَا
يَهۡدِي
ٱلۡقَوۡمَ
ٱلظَّٰلِمِينَ
