بِسْمِ اللّٰهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِیْمِ

7.176-177

وَ لَوْ شِئْنَا لَرَفَعْنٰهُ بِهَا وَ لٰكِنَّهٗۤ اَخْلَدَ اِلَى الْاَرْضِ وَ اتَّبَعَ هَوٰىهُۚ-فَمَثَلُهٗ كَمَثَلِ الْكَلْبِۚ-اِنْ تَحْمِلْ عَلَیْهِ یَلْهَثْ اَوْ تَتْرُكْهُ یَلْهَثْؕ-ذٰلِكَ مَثَلُ الْقَوْمِ الَّذِیْنَ كَذَّبُوْا بِاٰیٰتِنَاۚ-فَاقْصُصِ الْقَصَصَ لَعَلَّهُمْ یَتَفَكَّرُوْنَ(176) سَآءَ مَثَلَا-ﰳالْقَوْمُ الَّذِیْنَ كَذَّبُوْا بِاٰیٰتِنَا وَ اَنْفُسَهُمْ كَانُوْا یَظْلِمُوْنَ(177)

Kanz ul Iman Kanz ul Irfan

English translation of Kanz-ul-Irfan

And had We willed, We would have elevated him through it. However, he became inclined to this world and followed his desires; so his state is like that of a dog, if you show aggression towards him, he displays his tongue, or if you abandon him, he shows his tongue ˹too˺. This is the state of the people who rejected Our verses, so relate these accounts that they may contemplate.[1] What a terrible example it is of the people who rejected Our verses, and they were only oppressing themselves.

Commentary

In seeking the riches of this world, Balʿam ibn BāꜤūrā disrespected Prophet Mūsā عَـلَيْـهِ الـسَّـلَام , so Allah Almighty likened his condition to that of a dog. The verse expresses the evil of disrespect and a bad end due to worldly love.
