Verse 76

وَضَرَبَ And Allah sets forth ٱللَّهُ And Allah sets forth مَثَلًۭا an example رَّجُلَيْنِ (of) two men أَحَدُهُمَآ one of them أَبْكَمُ (is) dumb لَا not يَقْدِرُ he has power عَلَىٰ on شَىْءٍۢ anything وَهُوَ while he كَلٌّ (is) a burden عَلَىٰ on مَوْلَىٰهُ his master أَيْنَمَا Wherever يُوَجِّههُّ he directs him لَا not يَأْتِ he comes بِخَيْرٍ ۖ with any good هَلْ Is يَسْتَوِى equal هُوَ he وَمَن and (the one) who يَأْمُرُ commands بِٱلْعَدْلِ ۙ [of] justice وَهُوَ and he عَلَىٰ (is) on صِرَٰطٍۢ a path مُّسْتَقِيمٍۢ straight ٧٦

And Allāh presents an example of two men, one of them dumb and unable to do a thing, while he is a burden to his guardian. Wherever he directs him, he brings no good. Is he equal to one who commands justice, while he is on a straight path?
