فرار از حق مثل گورخران از شیر

معروف است که گورخر وحشت عجیبی از شیر دارد. حتی موقعی که صدای شیر را می‌شنود» چنان وحشتی بر او چیره می‌شود که دیوانه‌وار به هر سو می‌دود؛ به ویژه هنگامی که شیر به گروهی از آنها برسدء چنان پراکنده می‌شوند و به هر سو می‌دوند که هر بیننده‌ای غرق تعجب می‌شود. اصولا این حیوان به حکم وحشی بودن» از همه چیز وحشت دارد؛ تا چه رسد به دشمن خونخوارش شیر! این آیه» تعبیری بسیار رسا و گویا از وحشت و فرار مشرکان از آیات روح‌پرور قرأن است و آنها را به گورخر تشبیه کرده که هم بدون عقل و شعور است و هم به علت وحشی بودن» از همه چیز گریزان؛ در حالی که در برابر آنها چیزی جز پند و تذکر قرار ندارد.
