(176) Had We wished, We would have elevated him by ˹means of˺ them[1820], but he stuck to the ground and followed his desire[1821]. His example is that of a dog, when you chase it away, it pants and ˹even˺ when you leave it, it pants[1822]. That is the example of the people who denied Our Signs; so recount ˹Muhammad˺ the stories perchance they may ponder.
[1820] Knowledge is not enough to elevate a person and nurture his spirit but following the Truth, choosing it over everything else and seeking God’s Pleasure do just that (cf. Ibn al-Qayyim, Iʿlām al-Muwaqqiʿīn, 1/129). [1821] Akhlada ilā al-arḍ means that he preferred the joys and riches of this lowly life to that of the Hereafter, thus following his lusts and vain desires (cf. al-Ṭabarī, Ibn Kathīr, al-Saʿdī). [1822] It is part of a dog’s nature to pant whether it is being chased away or not. Such is the degrading parable that God draws of this kind of person who ˹pants after˺ this worldly life; no matter whether he is admonished or not, he will not change (cf. Ibn Kathīr, al-Saʿdī): “Indeed the Deniers, whether you warn them or do not warn them, they will not Believe. *Allah has sealed their hearts and their hearing, and over their eyes there is a veil—theirs is a grievous Punishment” (2: 6-7).
