  • ٱلۡقُرۡءَانِ the Quran
  • لِلنَّاسِ for mankind
  • مِن of
  • كُلِّ every
  • مَثَلٖۚ example
  • وَكَانَ But is
  • ٱلۡإِنسَٰنُ the man
  • أَكۡثَرَ (in) most
  • شَيۡءٖ things
  • جَدَلٗا quarrelsome
And We have certainly diversified in this Qur’ān for the people from every [kind of] example; but man has ever been, most of anything, [prone to] dispute.
And verily We have dispensed, We have explained, for mankind in this Qur'aan [an example] of every kind of similitude (min kulli mathalin is an adjective qualifying an omitted clause, in other words, '[We have dispensed therein] a similitude from every kind of similitude), that they may be admonished. But man is most disputatious, [he is] most contentious in matters of falsehood (jadalan is a specification derived from [al-insaan, 'man'] the subject of kaana) in other words, the meaning is that the disputatiousness of man is what can be found in him most.
