The Saheeh International Quran Translation : القول في تفسير قوله تعالي: سورة: الْأَعْرَاف الآية:176

» The Saheeh International Quran Translation

And if We had willed, we could have elevated him thereby, but he adhered [instead] to the earth and followed his own desire. So his example is like that of the dog: if you chase him, he pants, or if you leave him, he [still] pants. That is the example of the people who denied Our signs. So relate the stories that perhaps they will give thought.
