Surah Kahf ayat 54 Tafsir Quran 18:54

﴿وَلَقَدْ صَرَّفْنَا فِي هَٰذَا الْقُرْآنِ لِلنَّاسِ مِن كُلِّ مَثَلٍ ۚ وَكَانَ الْإِنسَانُ أَكْثَرَ شَيْءٍ جَدَلًا﴾
[ الكهف: 54]

18:54 And We have certainly diversified in this Qur'an for the people from every [kind of] example; but man has ever been, most of anything, [prone to] dispute.

And verily We have dispensed We have explained for mankind in this Qur’ān an example of every kind of similitude min kulli mathalin is an adjective qualifying an omitted clause in other words ‘We have dispensed therein a similitude from every kind of similitude that they may be admonished. But man is most disputatious he is most contentious in matters of falsehood jadalan is a specification derived from al-insān ‘man’ the subject of kāna in other words the meaning is that the disputatiousness of man is what can be found in him most.

And We have expounded and oriented Our revelations in this Quran to circumstances and requirements and We expressed many parables to bring the infidels to their senses but man has always been known to raise captions and frivolous objections about most things and tries to find fault unfairly and without good reason

( And verily We have displayed ) We have explained ( for mankind ) for the people of Mecca ( in this Qur’an all manner of similitudes ) all forms of threats and promises in order that they take heed and, hence, believe, ( but man ) Ubayy Ibn Khalaf al-Jumahi ( is more than anything contentious ) in respect to falsehood; it is also said that this means: no one is more contentious than man.

And indeed We have put forth every kind of example in this Quran, for mankind. But, man is ever more quarrelsome than anything.
