17:89

وَلَقَدْ صَرَّفْنَا لِلنَّاسِ فِى هَـٰذَا ٱلْقُرْءَانِ مِن كُلِّ مَثَلٍ فَأَبَىٰٓ أَكْثَرُ ٱلنَّاسِ إِلَّا كُفُورًا

And We have certainly diversified for the people in this Qur’ān from every [kind of] example, but most of the people refused except disbelief.

— Saheeh International

In this Quran, We have set out all kinds of examples for people, yet most of them persist in disbelieving.

— M. A. S. Abdel Haleem

And indeed We have fully explained to mankind, in this Qur’ân, every kind of similitude, but most of mankind refuse (the truth and accept nothing) but disbelief.

— Muhammad Muhsin Khan & Muhammad Taqi-ud-Din al-Hilali
