Sura al-Ḥajj 22:73

يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلنَّاسُ ضُرِبَ مَثَلٌ فَٱسْتَمِعُوا۟ لَهُۥٓ إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ تَدْعُونَ مِن دُونِ ٱللَّـهِ لَن يَخْلُقُوا۟ ذُبَابًا وَلَوِ ٱجْتَمَعُوا۟ لَهُۥ وَإِن يَسْلُبْهُمُ ٱلذُّبَابُ شَيْـًٔا لَّا يَسْتَنقِذُوهُ مِنْهُ ضَعُفَ ٱلطَّالِبُ وَٱلْمَطْلُوبُ

yā-ayyuhā l-nāsu ḍuriba mathalun fa-istamiʿū lahu inna lladhīna tadʿūna min dūni allāhi lan yakhluqū dhubāban wa-lawi ijtamaʿū lahu wa-in yaslubhumu l-dhubābu shayʾan lā yastanqidhūhu minhu ḍaʿufa l-ṭālibu wa-l-maṭlūbu

O men! Here is a parable set forth! listen to it! Those on whom, besides Allah, ye call, cannot create (even) a fly, if they all met together for the purpose! and if the fly should snatch away anything from them, they would have no power to release it from the fly. Feeble are those who petition and those whom they petition!
