Surah Al-Nahl (The Bees), Verse 76

وَضَرَبَ اللّٰهُ مَثَلًا رَّجُلَیْنِ اَحَدُهُمَاۤ اَبْكَمُ لَا یَقْدِرُ عَلٰی شَیْءٍ وَّهُوَ كَلٌّ عَلٰی مَوْلٰىهُ اَیْنَمَا یُوَجِّهْهُّ لَا یَاْتِ بِخَیْرٍ هَلْ یَسْتَوِیْ هُوَ وَمَنْ یَّاْمُرُ بِالْعَدْلِ وَهُوَ عَلٰی صِرَاطٍ مُّسْتَقِیْمٍ 

Wa darabal laahu masalar rajulaini ahaduhumaaa abkamu laa yaqdiru 'alaa shai'inw wa huwa kallun 'alaa mawlaahu ainamaa yuwajjihhu laa yaati bikhairin hal yastawee huwa wa many-yaamuru bil'adli wa huwa 'alaa Siraatim Mustaqeem

Allah sets forth (another) Parable of two men: one of them dumb, with no power of any sort; a wearisome burden is he to his master; whichever way he directs him, he brings no good: is such a man equal with one who commands Justice, and is on a Straight Way?
