quran:16:76

And Allah 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?  

And God strikes a similitude (mathalan, this is substituted by ˹the following, rajulayn˺) two men, one of whom is dumb ˹from birth˺, having no power over anything, as he cannot understand nor be understood, and who is a liability, burdensome, to his master: — the ˹legal˺ guardian of his affairs — wherever he directs him, he does not bring, therefrom, any good, he does ˹not˺ succeed, and this is the similitude of the disbeliever. Is he, that is, the dumb one mentioned, equal to one who enjoins justice, that is, to one who is able to speak, of benefit to people, since he enjoins it ˹justice˺ and encourages ˹others to˺ it, and follows a path, a way, that is straight? — this being the second ˹man˺, the believer — No ˹he is not equal to him˺. It is also said that this ˹last similitude˺ is a similitude of God, while the ˹similitude of the˺ dumb one is of the idols, so that the preceding ˹verse˺ contains the similitude of the disbeliever and the believer.
القرآن:١٦:٧٦

وَضَرَبَ اللَّهُ مَثَلًا رَجُلَيْنِ أَحَدُهُمَا أَبْكَمُ لَا يَقْدِرُ عَلَىٰ شَيْءٍ وَهُوَ كَلٌّ عَلَىٰ مَوْلَاهُ أَيْنَمَا يُوَجِّهْهُ لَا يَأْتِ بِخَيْرٍ ۖ هَلْ يَسْتَوِي هُوَ وَمَنْ يَأْمُرُ بِالْعَدْلِ ۙ وَهُوَ عَلَىٰ صِرَاطٍ مُسْتَقِيمٍ  

{وضرب الله مثلاً} ويبدل منه {رجلين أحدهما أبكم} ولد أخرس {لا يقدر على شيء} لأنه لا يفهم ولا يُفهم {وهو كلّ} ثقيل {على مولاه} وليّ أمره {أينما يوجهه} يصرفه {لا يأت} منه {بخير} ينجح وهذا مثل الكافر {هل يستوي هو} أي الأبكم المذكور {ومن يأمر بالعدل} أي ومن هو ناطق نافع للناس حيث يأمر به ويحث عليه {وهو على صراط} طريق {مستقيم} وهو الثاني المؤمن؟ لا، وقيل هذا مثل الله، والأبكم للأصنام والذي قبله مثل الكافر والمؤمن.
