Walaw shina larafaAAnahu biha walakinnahu akhlada ila alardi waittabaAAa hawahu famathaluhu kamathali alkalbi in tahmil AAalayhi yalhath aw tatrukhu yalhath thalika mathalu alqawmi allatheena kaththaboo biayatina faoqsusi alqasasa laAAallahum yatafakkaroona
And had We willed We would have elevated him by them, instead he stuck to the ground and followed his bias/desire, therefore his example is the example of the dog, if you burden him he pants and if you leave him he pants. That is the example of the people of declare our signs untrue, therefore narrate the stories perhaps they contemplate.
There is a new word in this Aya and that is the word LAHATH which I translated as panting and it is also understood as sticking the tongue out when very tired, very thirsty and so on. The example is an interesting one in that when the message leaves no effect on a person then that is a great loss to that person that they made themselves completely insensitive to the depth and to the touch that the message has for us as humans. May Allah always open our hearts and minds to His message so we always react positively to it.
The other issue is that the reason this happened to this person is that he preferred to stick to the ground and follow his bias instead of following the sign from Allah and therefore he ended up a big loser. It is a message for all of us to control our egos and biases and be open to change them once the truth becomes clear to us.
