Al-A'raf · 7:176
وَلَوْ شِئْنَا لَرَفَعْنَاهُ بِهَا وَلَٰكِنَّهُ أَخْلَدَ إِلَى الْأَرْضِ وَاتَّبَعَ هَوَاهُ ۚ فَمَثَلُهُ كَمَثَلِ الْكَلْبِ إِنْ تَحْمِلْ عَلَيْهِ يَلْهَثْ أَوْ تَتْرُكْهُ يَلْهَثْ ۚ ذَٰلِكَ مَثَلُ الْقَوْمِ الَّذِينَ كَذَّبُوا بِآيَاتِنَا ۚ فَاقْصُصِ الْقَصَصَ لَعَلَّهُمْ يَتَفَكَّرُونَ
En indien het ons had behaagd, zouden wij hem zekerlijk daardoor tot wijsheid hebben verheven, maar hij bleef aan de aarde gehecht en volgde zijne eigen begeerten. Hij gelijkt op een hond, die, wanneer gij hem wegjaagt, de tong uitsteekt, of indien gij u van hem verwijdert, mede de tong uitsteekt. Dit is de gelijkenis van hen, die onze teekens van valschheid beschuldigen. Herhaal hun dus deze geschiedenis, opdat zij die in overweging zouden mogen nemen.

176. If Allah had desired, He would have made this person benefit through these signs, enabling him to act according to them, so that he would be raised up in this world and in the next. But he chose what led to his failure, being attracted to the desires of the worldly life, and preferring them to the Afterlife. His example in his extreme greed for this world is like the example of a dog, which pants with its tongue constantly, whether it is resting or whether it is chased away. This example is the example of the people who are astray because of rejecting Allah’s signs. So relate the stories to them O Messenger so that they may think and reject their denial of the truth and their misguidance.
