They ask you what is permitted for them. Say, "Permitted for you are all good things, including what trained dogs and falcons catch for you." You train them according to what God has taught you. So eat from what they catch for you, and pronounce God's name over it. And fear God. God is Swift in reckoning.
Are dogs impure in the Qur'an?
Key findingsEditorial
One finding for each passage this study carries, in the order the study reads them. Each is the reason that passage was signed into the study, in full and unedited - including, where the renderings disagree, the disagreement.
- 01 5:4 The one verse that gives dogs a role in a ruling, and the ruling is a permission: what trained animals catch is lawful
- 02 18:18 The dog at the threshold with the sleepers - present in the scene in all five renderings
- 03 18:22 The dog counted among them when people guess at their number, which is how the text treats its presence as unremarkable
- 04 7:176 The simile, included because it is the verse most often cited about dogs - and it is a comparison made of a man
In plain wordsEditorial written by the editors, not a translation
The Qur'an mentions dogs in five verses, and none of them is about purity. At 5:4 a dog is the model for something permitted: what trained animals catch for you is lawful to eat, and Palmer, Rodwell and Sale describe the training by reference to dogs where Pickthall says hounds. At 18:18 and 18:22 a dog sleeps at the threshold of the cave with the young men who took refuge there, and when people later guess at their number the dog is counted among them. At 7:176 a dog appears in a comparison - and the comparison is made of a man who was given signs and abandoned them.
The fifth is a surprise: at 53:49 Palmer and Sale render the star Sirius as "the Dog-star", so the English word arrives in a verse that has nothing to do with the animal.
No verse calls a dog impure. The words this text uses for impurity - impure, unclean, filth, defile - occur in thirteen verses (19 rows) elsewhere, and not once beside a dog.
The rulings about dogs and vessels that many readers have met come from the literature, which this platform holds nothing from, and from the reasoning built on it. That is a step beyond these verses, taken by scholars, and this study does not take it.
Scope of this study
This platform shows the verse, its easy-read line, its translations, a plain-words reading, and each verse among its neighbours. It does not supply occasion of revelation, interpretation (tafsir) or history, and it never invents them.
WHAT THIS STUDY DOES NOT ANSWER, and the layer that would. (1) THE IMPURITY TRADITIONS - the reports about vessels a dog has drunk from, and the rulings built on them - are and juristic material. No hadith source has cleared the rights audit and no juristic source is held at all, so this study can state that the verses do not address the question and must stop there. It does not say the traditions are wrong; it says they are not here. (2) Whether keeping dogs is permitted, and on what conditions: the same layers. (3) What the sleepers' dog signifies: , empty.
What this rests on
Opens with 5:4, widening across 4 passages in all.
Easy-read
Easy-read is a simplified pronunciation, not authoritative — a rule-by-rule romanisation, not a reading. Each verse ends in its pause form, as it is said when you stop there. Pauses inside a verse and other tajwid rules are not shown. It is derived from the Tanzil Simple edition, while the Arabic above is the Uthmani edition; both are cleared, but they are not the same edition and their orthography differs.

They ask thee (O Muhammad) what is made lawful for them. Say: (all) good things are made lawful for you. And those beasts and birds of prey which ye have trained as hounds are trained, ye teach them that which Allah taught you; so eat of that which they catch for you and mention Allah's name upon it, and observe your duty to Allah. Lo! Allah is swift to take account
They will ask thee what is lawful for them? say, 'Lawful for you are good things and what ye have taught beasts of prey (to catch), training them like dogs; - ye teach them as God taught you; - so eat of what they catch for you, and mention the name of God over it, and fear God, for verily, God is swift in reckoning up
They will ask thee what is made lawful for them. Say: Those things which are good are legalised to you, and the prey of beasts of chase which ye have trained like dogs, teaching them as God hath taught you. Eat, therefore, of what they shall catch for you, and make mention of the name of God over it, and fear God: Verily, Swift is God to reckon
They will ask thee what is allowed them as lawful to eat? Answer, such things as are good are allowed you; and what ye shall teach animals of prey to catch, training them up for hunting after the manner of dogs, and teaching them according to the skill which God hath taught you. Eat therefore of that which they shall catch for you; and commemorate the name of God thereon; and fear God, for God is swift in taking an account

Sie fragen dich, was ihnen erlaubt ist. Sag: „Erlaubt sind euch die guten Dinge.

Wahrlich, Allah ist schnell im Abrechnen.
Σε ρωτούν (ω, Προφήτη) τι επιτρέπεται σ' αυτούς (από φαγητό). Πες: «Επιτρέπονται για σας όλα τα καλά (φαγητά), και ό,τι θήραμα πιάνεται από τα αρπακτικά που εκπαιδεύετε (δηλ. τα ζώα ή τα πουλιά που έχουν κυνόδοντες ή νύχια, σαν τα σκυλιά, τις λεοπαρδάλεις και τα γεράκια, τα οποία στέλνετε για να κυνηγήσουν για σας). Τα εκπαιδεύετε (πως να κυνηγήσουν) από ό,τι γνώση σάς παραχώρησε ο Αλλάχ (και έτσι τρέχουν ή σταματούν όπως τους διατάζετε). Φάτε από ό,τι πιάνουν για σας (και μην φάτε απ' αυτά που έπιασαν για τον εαυτό τους ή έφαγαν απ' αυτά). Και να αναφέρετε το Όνομα του Αλλάχ όταν τα στέλνετε (να κυνηγήσουν για σας). Και να φυλαχθείτε από την τιμωρία του Αλλάχ (τηρώντας τις εντολές Του).» Πράγματι, ο Αλλάχ είναι Γρήγορος στον υπολογισμό (των πράξεων των δούλων Του, και στο να τους ανταμείβει ή να τους τιμωρεί γι' αυτές).
वे आपसे पूछते हैं कि उनके लिए क्या हलाल किया गया है? आप कह दें कि तुम्हारे लिए अच्छी पवित्र चीजें हलाल की गई हैं। और शिकारी जानवरों में से जो तुमने सधाए हैं, (जिन्हें तुम) शिकारी बनाने वाले हो, उन्हें उसमें से सिखाते हो जो अल्लाह ने तुम्हें सिखाया है। तो उसमें से खाओ जो (शिकार) वे तुम्हारे लिए रोक रखें, और उसपर अल्लाह का नाम[9] लो। तथा अल्लाह से डरो। निःसंदेह अल्लाह शीघ्र हिसाब लेने वाला है।
Ti chiedono cosa gli è permesso, di’: “Vi è stato permesso di mangiare le buone cose e ciò che avete insegnato agli animali predatori a cacciare – avete insegnato loro come Allāh ha insegnato a voi: mangiate ciò che cacciano per voi e (prima) fate il nome di Allāh su questo, e temete Allāh: in verità Allāh è rapido nel saldare i conti.”
4. Jie klausia tavęs (Muchammedai ﷺ), kas jiems leistina (kaip maistas). Sakyk: „Leistina jums yra At-Taijibat [visos Halal (leistino-gero) maisto rūšys, kurias Allahas padarė leistinomis (paskerstų valgomų gyvūnų mėsa, pieno produktai, riebalai, daržovės ir vaisiai)]. Ir tie plėšrūs gyvūnai ir paukščiai, kuriuos jūs ištreniravote būti medžiotojais, treniruojant ir mokant juos (pagauti) tokiu būdu, kaip jums įsakyta Allaho. Taigi valgykite tai, ką jie pagauna jums, tačiau ištarkite Allaho Vardą virš jų, ir bijokite Allaho. Iš tiesų, Allahas yra Greitas atsiskaityti.“

Они спрашивают тебя: что им дозволено? Скажи: «Вам дозволены блага и [добыча] тех ловчих животных, которых вы обучили — так, как обучают собак для охоты, обучая их из того, чему научил вас Аллах.

The translators word this verse differently
O you who believe! Do not violate God's sacraments, nor the Sacred Month, nor the offerings, nor the garlanded, nor those heading for the Sacred House seeking blessings from their Lord and approval. When you have left the pilgrim sanctity, you may hunt. And let not the hatred of people who barred you from the Sacred Mosque incite you to aggression. And cooperate with one another in virtuous conduct and conscience, and do not cooperate with one another in sin and hostility. And fear God. God is severe in punishment.
O ye who believe! Profane not Allah's monuments nor the Sacred Month nor the offerings nor the garlands, nor those repairing to the Sacred House, seeking the grace and pleasure of their Lord. But when ye have left the sacred territory, then go hunting (if ye will). And let not your hatred of a folk who (once) stopped your going to the inviolable place of worship seduce you to transgress; but help ye one another unto righteousness and pious duty. Help not one another unto sin and transgression, but keep your duty to Allah. Lo! Allah is severe in punishment
O ye who believe! do not deem the monuments of God to be lawful, nor the sacred month, nor the offering, nor its neck garlands, nor those who sojourn at the sacred house, craving grace from their Lord and His pleasure. But when ye are in lawful state again, then chase; and let not ill-will against the people who turned you from the Sacred Mosque make you transgress; but help one another in righteousness and piety, and do not help one another to sin and enmity; but fear God, - verily, God is keen to punish
O Believers! violate neither the rites of God, nor the sacred month Muharram, nor the offering, nor its ornaments, nor those who press on to the sacred house seeking favour from their Lord and his good pleasure in them. But when all is over, then take to the chase: and let not ill will at those who would have kept you from the sacred mosque lead you to transgress, but rather be helpful to one another according to goodness and piety, but be not helpful for evil and malice: and fear ye God. Verily, God is severe in punishing
O true believers, violate not the holy rites of God, nor the sacred month, nor the offering, nor the ornaments hung thereon, nor those who are travelling to the holy house, seeking favour from their Lord, and to please Him. But when ye shall have finished your pilgrimage; then hunt. And let not the malice of some, in that they hindered you from entering the sacred temple, provoke you to transgress, by taking revenge on them in the sacred months. Assist one another according to justice and piety, but assist not one another in injustice and malice: Therefore fear God; for God is severe in punishing

Prohibited for you are carrion, blood, the flesh of swine, and animals dedicated to other than God; also the flesh of animals strangled, killed violently, killed by a fall, gored to death, mangled by wild animals-except what you rescue, and animals sacrificed on altars; and the practice of drawing lots. For it is immoral. Today, those who disbelieve have despaired of your religion, so do not fear them, but fear Me. Today I have perfected your religion for you, and have completed My favor upon you, and have approved Islam as a religion for you. But whoever is compelled by hunger, with no intent of wrongdoing-God is Forgiving and Merciful.
Forbidden unto you (for food) are carrion and blood and swineflesh, and that which hath been dedicated unto any other than Allah, and the strangled, and the dead through beating, and the dead through falling from a height, and that which hath been killed by (the goring of) horns, and the devoured of wild beasts, saving that which ye make lawful (by the death-stroke), and that which hath been immolated unto idols. And (forbidden is it) that ye swear by the divining arrows. This is an abomination. This day are those who disbelieve in despair of (ever harming) your religion; so fear them not, fear Me! This day have I perfected your religion for you and completed My favour unto you, and have chosen for you as religion al-Islam. Whoso is forced by hunger, not by will, to sin: (for him) lo! Allah is Forgiving, Merciful
Forbidden to you is that which dies of itself, and blood, and the flesh of swine, and that which is devoted to other than God, and the strangled and the knocked down, and that which falls down, and the gored, and what wild beasts have eaten - except what ye slaughter in time - and what is sacrificed to idols, and dividing carcases by arrows. Today shall those who disbelieve in your religion despair; do ye not then fear them, but fear me - Today is perfected for you your religion, and fulfilled upon you is my favour, and I am pleased for you to have Islam for a religion. But he who is forced by hunger, not inclined willfully to sin, verily, God is forgiving, compassionate
That which dieth of itself, and blood, and swine's flesh, and all that hath been sacrificed under the invocation of any other name than that of God, and the strangled, and the killed by a blow, or by a fall, or by goring, and that which hath been eaten by beasts of prey, unless ye make it clean by giving the death-stroke yourselves, and that which hath been sacrificed on the blocks of stone, is forbidden you: and to make division of the slain by consulting the arrows, is impiety in you. Woe this day on those who forsake your religion! And fear them not, but fear Me. This day have I perfected your religion for you, and have filled up the measure of my favours upon you: and it is my pleasure that Islam be your religion; but whoso without wilful leanings to wrong shall be forced by hunger to transgress, to him, verily, will God be Indulgent, Merciful
Ye are forbidden to eat that which dieth of it self, and blood, and swine's flesh, and that on which the name of any besides God, hath been invocated; and that which hath been strangled, or killed by a blow, or by a fall, or by the horns of another beast, and that which hath been eaten by a wild beast, except what ye shall kill your selves; and that which hath been sacrificed unto idols. It is likewise unlawful for you to make division by casting lots with arrows. This is an impiety. On this day, wo be unto those who have apostatized from their religion; therefore fear not them, but fear Me. This day have I perfected your religion for you, and have completed my mercy upon you; and I have chosen for you Islam, to be your religion. But whosoever shall be driven by necessity through hunger, to eat of what we have forbidden, not designing to sin, surely God will be indulgent and merciful unto him

Today all good things are made lawful for you. And the food of those given the Scripture is lawful for you, and your food is lawful for them. So are chaste believing women, and chaste women from the people who were given the Scripture before you, provided you give them their dowries, and take them in marriage, not in adultery, nor as mistresses. But whoever rejects faith, his work will be in vain, and in the Hereafter he will be among the losers.
This day are (all) good things made lawful for you. The food of those who have received the Scripture is lawful for you, and your food is lawful for them. And so are the virtuous women of the believers and the virtuous women of those who received the Scripture before you (lawful for you) when ye give them their marriage portions and live with them in honour, not in fornication, nor taking them as secret concubines. Whoso denieth the faith, his work is vain and he will be among the losers in the Hereafter
Lawful for you today are good things, and the food of those to whom the Book has been given is lawful for you, and your food is lawful for them; and chaste women of those who believe, and chaste women of those to whom the Book has been given before you, - when you have given them their hire, living chastely and not fornicating, and not taking paramours. But whoso disbelieves in the faith, of a truth his work is vain, and he shall be in the next life of those who lose
This day, things healthful are legalised to you, and the meats of those who have received the Scriptures are allowed to you, as your meats are to them. And you are permitted to marry virtuous women who are believers, and virtuous women of those who have received the Scriptures before you, when you shall have provided them their portions, living chastely with them without fornication, and without taking concubines. Vain the works of him who shall renounce the faith! and in the next world he shall be of the lost
This day are ye allowed to eat such things as are good, and the food of those to whom the scriptures were given is also allowed as lawful unto you; and your food is allowed as lawful unto them. And ye are also allowed to marry free women that are believers, and also free women of those who have received the scriptures before you, when ye shall have assigned them their dower; living chastly with them, neither committing fornication, nor taking them for concubines. Whoever shall renounce the faith, his work shall be vain, and in the next life he shall be of those who perish

O you who believe! When you rise to pray, wash your faces and your hands and arms to the elbows, and wipe your heads, and your feet to the ankles. If you had intercourse, then purify yourselves.

God does not intend to burden you, but He intends to purify you, and to complete His blessing upon you, that you may be thankful.
O ye who believe! When ye rise up for prayer, wash you faces, and your hands up to the elbows, and lightly rub your heads and (wash) your feet up to the ankles.

Allah would not place a burden on you, but He would purify you and would perfect His grace upon you, that ye may give thanks
O ye who believe! when ye rise up to prayer wash your faces, and your hands as far as the elbows, and wipe - your heads, and your feet down to the ankles.

And when ye withdraw from them and that which they worship except Allah, then seek refuge in the Cave; your Lord will spread for you of His mercy and will prepare for you a pillow in your plight
So when ye have gone apart from them and what they serve other than God, then resort ye to the cave. Our Lord will unfold His mercy to you, and will dispose for you your affair advantageously
So when ye shall have separated you from them and from that which they worship beside God, then betake you to the cave: Your Lord will unfold his mercy to you, and will order your affairs for you for the best

You would have seen the sun, when it rose, veering away from their cave towards the right, and when it sets, moving away from them to the left, as they lay in the midst of the cave. That was one of God's wonders. He whom God guides is truly guided; but he whom He misguides, for him you will find no directing friend.
And thou mightest have seen the sun when it rose move away from their cave to the right, and when it set go past them on the left, and they were in the cleft thereof. That was (one) of the portents of Allah. He whom Allah guideth, he indeed is led aright, and he whom He sendeth astray, for him thou wilt not find a guiding friend
And thou mightst have seen the sun when it rose decline from their cave towards the right hand, and when it set leave them on the left hand, while they were in the spacious part thereof. That is one of the signs of God. Whom God guides he is guided indeed, and whom He leads astray thou shalt surely find for him no patron to guide aright
And thou mightest have seen the sun when it arose, pass on the right of their cave, and when it set, leave them on the left, while they were in its spacious chamber. This is one of the signs of God. Guided indeed is he whom God guideth; but for him whom He misleadeth, thou shalt by no means find a patron, director
And thou mightest have seen the sun, when it had risen, to decline from their cave towards the right hand; and when it went down, to leave them on the left hand: And they were in the spacious part of the cave. This was one of the signs of God. Whomsoever God shall direct, he shall be rightly directed; and whomsoever He shall cause to err, thou shalt not find any to defend or to direct

Even so, We awakened them, so that they may ask one another. A speaker among them said, "How long have you stayed?" They said, "We have stayed a day, or part of a day." They said, "Your Lord knows best how long you have stayed." "Send one of you to the city, with this money of yours, and let him see which food is most suitable, and let him bring you some provision thereof. And let him be gentle, and let no one become aware of you."
And in like manner We awakened them that they might question one another. A speaker from among them said: How long have ye tarried? They said: We have tarried a day or some part of a day, (Others) said: Your Lord best knoweth what ye have tarried. Now send one of you with this your silver coin unto the city, and let him see what food is purest there and bring you a supply thereof. Let him be courteous and let no man know of you
Thus did we raise them up that they might question each other. Spake a speaker amongst them, 'How long have ye tarried?' They said, 'We have tarried a day or part of a day.' They said, 'Your Lord knows best your tarrying; so send one of you with this coin of yours to the city, and let him look which of them has purest food, and let him bring you provision thereof; and let him be subtle and not let any one perceive you
So we awaked them that they might question one another. Said one of them, "How long have ye tarried here?" They said, "We have tarried a day or part of day." They said, "Your Lord knoweth best how long ye have tarried: Send now one of you with this your coin into the city, and let him mark who therein hath purest food, and from him let him bring you a supply: and let him be courteous, and not discover you to any one
And so We awaked them from their sleep, that they might ask questions of one another. One of them spake and said, how long have ye tarried here? They answered, we have tarried a day, or part of a day. The others said, your Lord, best knoweth the time ye have tarried: And now send one of you with this your money into the city, and let him see which of its inhabitants hath the best and cheapest food, and let him bring you provision from him; and let him behave circumspectly, and not discover you to any one

"If they discover you, they will stone you, or force you back into their religion; then you will never be saved."
For they, if they should come to know of you, will stone you or turn you back to their religion; then ye will never prosper
Verily, they - should they perceive you - would stone you, or would force you back again unto their faith, and ye would never prosper then
For they, if they find you out, will stone you or turn you back to their faith, and in that case it will fare ill with you for ever
Verily, if they come up against you, they will stone you, or force you to return to their religion; and then shall ye not prosper for ever

So it was, that We caused them to be discovered, that they would know that the promise of God is true, and that of the Hour there is no doubt. As they were disputing their case among themselves, they said, "Build over them a building." Their Lord knows best about them. Those who prevailed over their case said, "We will set up over them a place of worship."
And in like manner We disclosed them (to the people of the city) that they might know that the promise of Allah is true, and that, as for the Hour, there is no doubt concerning it.

And thus made we their adventure known to their fellow citizens, that they might learn that the promise of God is true, and that as to "the Hour" there is no doubt of its coming. When they disputed among themselves concerning what had befallen them, some said, "Build a building over them; their Lord knoweth best about them."

Had We willed, We could have elevated him through them; but he clung to the ground, and followed his desires. His metaphor is that of a dog: if you chase it, it pants; and if you leave it alone, it pants. Such is the metaphor of the people who deny Our signs. So tell the tale, so that they may ponder.

And had We willed We could have raised him by their means, but he clung to the earth and followed his own lust.

Had we pleased we would have exalted him thereby, but lie crouched upon the earth and followed his lust, and his likeness was as the likeness of a dog, whom if thou shouldst attack he hangs out his tongue, or if thou should leave him, hangs out his tongue too.

Had we pleased, we had certainly thereby exalted him; but he crouched to the earth and followed his own lust: his likeness, therefore, is as that of the dog which lolls out his tongue, whether thou chase him away, or leave him alone! Such is the likeness of those who treat our signs as lies. Tell them this tale then, that they may consider
And if We pleased, We would have exalted him thereby; but he inclined to the earth and followed his evil desires. His case, therefore, is like the case of a thirsty dog; if thou drive him away, he hangs out his tongue and if thou leave him, he hangs out his tongue. Such is the case of the people who disbelieve in Our Signs. So relate to them this narrative that they may reflect

- Hafs/Kufan verse numbering, 6236 ayahs. The bismillah is delivered as a separate `bismillah` attribute on ayah 1 and is NOT fused into the ayah text. 112 surahs carry one: every surah except al-Fatiha, where the bismillah is ayah 1:1 itself, and at-Tawba, which has none. Sourced from the XML output; the plain-text output of the same release DOES fuse it, which is defect D1.

আর আমি ইচ্ছা করলে উক্ত নিদর্শনাবলীর দ্বারা তাকে অবশ্যই উচ্চ মর্যাদা দিতাম; কিন্তু সে পৃথিবীর প্রতি ঝুঁকে পড়েছে এবং সে তার কুপ্রবৃত্তির অনুসরণ করেছে। সুতরাং তার দৃষ্টান্ত হচ্ছে, কুকুরের মতো । যদি তার ওপর বোঝা চাপিয়ে দাও, তাহলে সে জিহ্বা বের করে হাঁপাবে, আর বোঝা না চাপালেও সে জিহ্বা বের করে হাঁপাবে। এটি হচ্ছে সে সম্প্রদায়ের দৃষ্টান্ত, যারা আমার আয়াতসমূহকে অস্বীকার করেছে। অতএব, তুমি এ ঘটনাগুলো তাদের কাছে বর্ণনা করো, যাতে তারা চিন্তা-ভাবনা করতে পারে।
A da smo htjeli, mogli smo ga time uzvisiti, ali se on ovom svijetu priklonio i za svojom strašću krenuo. Njegov je slučaj kao slučaj psa: ako ga potjeraš, on isplažena jezika dahće, a ako ga se okaniš – on opet dahće. Takvi su ljudi koji Naše dokaze smatraju lažnim; zato, kazuj događaje da bi oni razmislili.

და რომ გვენება, ჩვენ ავამაღლებდით მას ამის (ნიშნების) საშუალებით, მაგრამ იგი მიეკრო მიწას[1] და მიჰყვა თავის ვნებებს. და მისი მაგალითი ჰგავს ძაღლს: თუ მიუდგები, ენას გამოყოფს, და თუ დატოვებ (მშვიდად), (მაინც) ენას გამოყოფს. ეს არის მაგალითი იმ ხალხისა, რომლებმაც უარყვეს ჩვენი აიათები. ამიტომ მოუყევი (ო, მოციქულო) ეს ამბავი, — იქნებ ისინი დაფიქრდნენ!
Und wenn Wir gewollt hätten, hätten Wir ihn durch sie (also diese Zeichen) gewiss erhöht. Aber er neigte zur Erde hin und folgte seiner Neigung. So ist sein Gleichnis wie das Gleichnis eines Hundes: Wenn du auf ihn losgehst, hechelt er; oder du lässt ihn (in Ruhe), hechelt er (auch). Dies ist das Gleichnis der Leute, die Unsere Zeichen für Lüge erklärten. So berichte die Geschichte, auf dass sie nachdenken mögen.
Αν θέλαμε, θα τον υψώναμε μ' αυτά (τα σημάδια), αλλά αυτός προσκολλήθηκε στη γη (και στις απολαύσεις της εγκόσμιας ζωής) και ακολούθησε τις επιθυμίες του. Το παράδειγμά του είναι σαν αυτό ενός σκύλου: αν τον διώχνεις, βγάζει τη γλώσσα του, και αν τον αφήσεις, εξακολουθεί να βγάζει τη γλώσσα του. Αυτό είναι το παράδειγμα εκείνων των ανθρώπων που διαψεύδουν τα σημάδιά Μας (είτε τους καλείς στο Ισλάμ, είτε τους αφήνεις, είναι το ίδιο γι' αυτούς). Γι' αυτό, αφηγήσου τις ιστορίες, μήπως και να τα αναλογιστούν!
और यदि हम चाहते, तो उन (आयतों) के द्वारा उसका पद ऊँचा कर देते, परंतु वह धरती से चिमट गया और अपनी इच्छा के पीछे लग गया। अतः उसकी दशा उस कुत्ते के समान हो गई, जिसे हाँको, तब भी जीभ निकाले हाँफता रहे और छोड़ दो, तब भी जीभ निकाले हाँफता है। यह उन लोगों की मिसाल है, जिन्होंने हमारी आयतों को झुठलाया। तो आप ये कथाएँ (उन्हें) सुना दें, ताकि वे सोच-विचार करें।
Ma, se avessimo voluto, lo avremmo elevato con quei Segni, ma si aggrappò alla terra e seguì il suo vizio. E il suo esempio è come l’esempio del cane che ansima se lo attacchi, e se lo ignori ansima comunque: quello è l’esempio del popolo che smentisce i Nostri Segni: recita loro i racconti, perché ricordino.
176. Ir jei Mes būtume panorėję, Mes tikrai būtume jį išugdę, tačiau jis įsitvėrė žemės ir sekė savo tuščiu troškimu. Taigi, jo panašumas į šunį: jei jį išvarai – jis iškiša savo liežuvį, o jei palieki jį vieną – jis (vis tiek) iškiša savo liežuvį. Toks panašumas yra žmonių, kurie atmeta Mūsų Ajat (įrodymus, įkalčius, eilutes, pamokas, ženklus, apreiškimus ir t.t.). Taigi, pasakok istorijas, galbūt jie susimąstys.

А ведь если бы Мы пожелали, Мы возвысили бы его посредством них, но он приник к земле и последовал своей прихоти. Притча о нём подобна притче о собаке: если прогоняешь её — она высовывает язык, и если оставишь её, она [всё равно] высовывает язык. Таковы люди, которые сочли Наши знамения ложью. Так рассказывай же этот рассказ, — быть может, они поразмыслят.
А да смо хтели, могли смо тиме да га узвисимо, али се он приклонио овом свету и за својом страшћу кренуо. Његов случај је као случај пса; ако га потераш, он исплаженог језика дахће, а ако га се оканиш – он опет дахће. Такви су људи који Наше речи и доказе сматрају лажним; зато, казуј догађаје да би они размислили.
Na lau kuwa tungelitaka, tungelimwinua kwazo, lakini yeye alizama katika ulimwengu na akafuata matamanio yake. Basi mfano wake ni kama mfano wa mbwa. Ukimhujumu hupumua na kutoa ulimi nje, na ukimwacha, pia hupumua na kutoa ulimi nje. Huo ni mfano wa kaumu ambao walizikadhibisha Ishara zetu. Basi simulia hadithi, huenda wakatafakari.
Om vi hade velat hade vi upphöjt honom genom dem, men han klamrade sig fast vid det världsliga och följde sina begär. Han är som en hund som flåsar med hängande tunga vare sig du jagar bort den eller låter den vara. Sådan är liknelsen för de som förnekar våra tecken. Berätta dessa berättelser så att de må tänka efter.
Dileseydik onu ayetlerimizle yükseltirdik. Fakat o dünyaya saplanıp, kaldı, hevesine uydu. Onun misali, üzerine yürüsen de kendi haline bıraksan da dilini çıkartıp soluyan köpeğe benzer. Ayetlerimizi yalanlayan kavmin misali budur. Kıssayı anlat, belki düşünürler.
اور اگر ہم چاہتے تو اس کو ان آیتوں کی بدولت بلند مرتبہ کر دیتے لیکن وه تو دنیا کی طرف مائل ہوگیا اور اپنی نفسانی خواہش کی پیروی کرنے لگا سو اس کی حالت کتے کی سی ہوگئی کہ اگر تو اس پر حملہ کرے تب بھی ہانپے یا اس کو چھوڑ دے تب بھی ہانپے[1] ، یہی حالت ان لوگوں کی ہے جنہوں نے ہماری آیتوں کو جھٹلایا۔ سو آپ اس حال کو بیان کر دیجئے شاید وه لوگ کچھ سوچیں۔[2]

We thus elaborate the revelations, so that they may return.
Thus we detail the revelations, that haply they may return

And relate to them the story of him to whom We delivered Our signs, but he detached himself from them, so Satan went after him, and he became one of the perverts.
Recite unto them the tale of him to whom We gave Our revelations, but he sloughed them off, so Satan overtook him and he became of those who lead astray
Read to them the declaration of him to whom we brought our signs, and who stepped away therefrom, and Satan followed him, and he was of those who were beguiled
Recite to them the history of him to whom we vouchsafed our signs, and who departed from them, so that Satan followed him, and he became one of the seduced
And relate to them the story of him to whom We gave Our Signs, but he stepped away from them; so Satan followed him up and he became one of those who go astray

Evil is the metaphor of the people who reject Our signs and wrong themselves.
Evil as an example are the folk who denied Our revelations, and were wont to wrong themselves
Evil is the likeness of a people who say our signs are lies; themselves it is they wrong
Evil the likeness of those who treat our signs as lies! and it is themselves they injure
Evil is the case of the people who treat Our Signs as lies. And it was their ownselves that they wronged

The translators word this verse differently
Whomever God guides is the guided one. And whomever He sends astray-these are the losers.
He whom Allah leadeth, he indeed is led aright, while he whom Allah sendeth astray - they indeed are losers
Whoever Allah guides - he is the [rightly] guided; and whoever He sends astray - it is those who are the losers
He whom God guideth is the guided, and they whom he misleadeth shall be the lost
He whom God guides, is on the right path. And they whom He leaves in error, these it is who shall be the losers
What this study rests on, and what it refusessigned with it6 of the 7 paragraphs signed with this study; the paragraph naming what it does not answer is at the top of the page
The selection above and this account of it are part of what was signed. Where the renderings disagree it says so; where the question runs past what has cleared the rights audit it says that too.
SEED. 'dog' returned four verses across the five renderings - 7:176, 18:18, 18:22 and 53:49 - and 'hunting beasts taught' returned 5:4. The 53:49 return is a retrieval artefact worth keeping: the English word arrives there through Palmer's and Sale's rendering of Sirius as the Dog-star, and a search that hid it would be a search that had decided what the reader meant.
WHERE THE RENDERINGS PART COMPANY, NAMED. At 5:4 Palmer, Rodwell and Sale describe animals trained 'like dogs' or 'after the manner of dogs', while Pickthall has 'those beasts and birds of prey which ye have trained as hounds are trained' and Itani has 'what trained dogs and falcons catch for you'. The practice is the same in all five; only the words for the animal move. At 53:49 Pickthall, Rodwell and Itani render Sirius and give no dog at all.
THE COUNT, DERIVED PER VERSE AND PER RENDERING. Probe '\mdogs?\m', case-insensitive, over all 31,173 rendering rows: five verses carry the word - 5:4 (Itani, Palmer, Rodwell and Sale), 7:176 (Itani, Palmer, Pickthall, Rodwell and Sale), 18:18 (Itani, Palmer, Pickthall, Rodwell and Sale), 18:22 (Itani, Palmer, Pickthall, Rodwell and Sale), 53:49 (Palmer and Sale). At 5:4 Pickthall has hounds; at 53:49 Pickthall, Rodwell and Itani render Sirius. The staged text said four, from a singular-only seed that missed 5:4's plural, and the figure was corrected before signature.
THE ABSENCE CLAIM, WITH ITS PROBES. 'impure|unclean|filth|defile' co-occurring with '\mdogs?\m' in the same verse returns 0 rows. The counter-count publishes with it: 'impure|unclean|filth|defile' alone returns 19 rows in 13 verses elsewhere in the corpus. The purity vocabulary exists in this text; it never once meets a dog.
53:49 is not a passage of this study, and is named in the prose instead. The passages are the study's subject; instrument evidence lives in the prose and here. It is kept rather than dropped because the word genuinely occurs there in Palmer and Sale and the study should reach it before a sceptical reader does - a search that hid it would be one that had decided what the reader meant.
Itani 2012, the fifth translation shown with these verses, was not consulted in choosing this study's verses. Where a sentence here counts or compares the renderings, it has been checked against all five.
