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

O people, an example is presented, so listen to it. Indeed, those you invoke besides Allāh will never create [as much as] a fly, even if they gathered together for it [i.e., that purpose]. And if the fly should steal from them a [tiny] thing, they could not recover it from him. Weak are the pursuer and pursued.1
