Quran verse
Qur'an 47:3
ذَٰلِكَ بِأَنَّ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا اتَّبَعُوا الْبَاطِلَ وَأَنَّ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا اتَّبَعُوا الْحَقَّ مِنْ رَبِّهِمْ ۚ كَذَٰلِكَ يَضْرِبُ اللَّهُ لِلنَّاسِ أَمْثَالَهُمْ٣
That is because those who disbelieve follow falsehood and because those who believe follow the truth from their Lord. Thus Allah coineth their similitudes for mankind.

Tafsir as-Sa'di on Quran 47:3
Taysir al-Karim al-Rahman by Abd al-Rahman al-Sa'di (d. 1956), in the original Arabic.
{ كَذَلِكَ يَضْرِبُ اللَّهُ لِلنَّاسِ أَمْثَالَهُمْ } حيث بين لهم تعالى أهل الخير وأهل الشر، وذكر لكل منهم صفة يعرفون بها ويتميزون { ليهلك من هلك عن بينة ويحيا من حي عن بينة }
