Verse (22:73)

The analysis above refers to the 73rd verse of chapter 22 (sūrat l-ḥaj):

Sahih International: O people, an example is presented, so listen to it. Indeed, those you invoke besides Allah will never create [as much as] a fly, even if they gathered together for that purpose. And if the fly should steal away from them a [tiny] thing, they could not recover it from him. Weak are the pursuer and pursued.
