24۞ مَثَلُ الفَريقَينِ كَالأَعمىٰ وَالأَصَمِّ وَالبَصيرِ وَالسَّميعِ ۚ هَل يَستَوِيانِ مَثَلًا ۚ أَفَلا تَذَكَّرونَMuhammad AsadThese two kinds of man1 may be likened to the blind and deaf and the seeing and hearing. Can these two be deemed alike in [their] nature?2 Will you not, then, keep this in mind?Lit., "two groups" - i.e., the believers and those who reject the divine writ.For my rendering, in this context, of mathal (lit., "likeness") as "nature", see the first part of note 47 on 3:59.
