Allah presents an example: a slave [who is] owned and unable to do a thing and he to whom We have provided from Us good provision, so he spends from it secretly and publicly. Can they be equal? Praise to Allah ! But most of them do not know.
Tafseer
{ ضرب الله مثلاً } ويبدل منه { عبدا مملوكا } صفة تميزه من الحر فإنه عبد الله { لا يقدر على شيء } لعدم ملكه { ومن } نكرة موصوفة أي حرا { رزقناه منا رزقا حسنا فهو ينفق منه سرا وجهرا } أي يتصرف فيه كيف يشاء والأول مثل الأصنام والثاني مثله تعالى { هل يستوون } أي العبيد العجزة والحر المتصرف ؟ لا { الحمد لله } وحده { بل أكثرهم } أي أهل مكة { لا يعلمون } ما يصيرون إليه من العذاب فيشركون .
