Surah Az-Zumar Ayah 29

Az-Zumar · Ayah 29 · Juz 23 · Page 461

ضَرَبَ ٱللَّهُ مَثَلٗا رَّجُلٗا فِيهِ شُرَكَآءُ مُتَشَٰكِسُونَ وَرَجُلٗا سَلَمٗا لِّرَجُلٍ هَلۡ يَسۡتَوِيَانِ مَثَلًاۚ ٱلۡحَمۡدُ لِلَّهِۚ بَلۡ أَكۡثَرُهُمۡ لَا يَعۡلَمُونَ ٢٩

Ḍaraballāhu mathalar rajulan fīhi shurakāʾu mutashākisūna wa rajulan salamal lirajulin hal yastawiyāni mathalā, al-ḥamdu lillāh, bal aktharuhum lā yaʿlamūn.

Allāh presents an example: a man [i.e., slave] owned by quarreling partners and another belonging exclusively to one man - are they equal in comparison? Praise be to Allāh! But most of them do not know.
