And had We willed We would have surely raised his status by what We gave him of the verses We would have performed, but he leaned to the world and followed his desire, and preferred his delights and his desires over the Hereafter, and abstained from the obedience of Allah and opposed His command. So the example of this man is like the example of the dog, if you drive it away or you leave it it brings out its tongue in the two cases panting, so likewise the one who stripped from the verses of Allah stays upon his disbelief if you exerted in your call to him or you neglected him, this description-O Messenger-is the description of these people who were misguided before that you bring them the guidance and the message, so relate-O Messenger-the reports of the past nations, for in your informing by that is the greatest miracle, perhaps your people reflect in what you brought them so they believe for you.
