سورة الأعراف، الآية ١٧٦Surah Al-A'raf, ayah 176 (7:176)
وَلَوۡ شِئۡنَا لَرَفَعۡنَٰهُ بِهَا وَلَٰكِنَّهُۥٓ أَخۡلَدَ إِلَى ٱلۡأَرۡضِ وَٱتَّبَعَ هَوَىٰهُ فَمَثَلُهُۥ كَمَثَلِ ٱلۡكَلۡبِ إِن تَحۡمِلۡ عَلَيۡهِ يَلۡهَثۡ أَوۡ تَتۡرُكۡهُ يَلۡهَث ذَّٰلِكَ مَثَلُ ٱلۡقَوۡمِ ٱلَّذِينَ كَذَّبُواْ بِـَٔايَٰتِنَا فَٱقۡصُصِ ٱلۡقَصَصَ لَعَلَّهُمۡ يَتَفَكَّرُونَ ١٧٦
The meaning in English
And had We willed, We would surely have elevated him therewith but he clung to the earth and followed his own vain desire. So his parable is the parable of a dog: if you drive him away, he lolls his tongue out, or if you leave him alone, he (still) lolls his tongue out. Such is the parable of the people who reject Our Ayât (proofs, evidence, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.). So relate the stories, perhaps they may reflect.

التفسير الميسر
ولو شئنا أن نرفع قدره بما آتيناه من الآيات لفعلنا، ولكنه رَكَنَ إلى الدنيا واتبع هواه، وآثر لَذَّاته وشهواته على الآخرة، وامتنع عن طاعة الله وخالف أمره. فَمَثَلُ هذا الرجل مثل الكلب، إن تطرده أو تتركه يُخْرج لسانه في الحالين لاهثًا، فكذلك الذي انسلخ من آيات الله يظل على كفره إن اجتهدْتَ في دعوتك له أو أهملته، هذا الوصف -أيها الرسول- وصف هؤلاء القوم الذين كانوا ضالين قبل أن تأتيهم بالهدى والرسالة، فاقصص -أيها الرسول- أخبار الأمم الماضية، ففي إخبارك بذلك أعظم معجزة، لعل قومك يتدبرون فيما جئتهم به فيؤمنوا لك
