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

Tafsir of verse 54
Al-Mukhtasar
I have explained in different ways, in this Qur’ān that was revealed to Muhammad (peace be upon him), many types of examples so that they will take a lesson and pay heed. But the thing that is most apparent in man - especially the disbeliever - is to wrongfully argue.
We have surely diversified in this Qur’an every kind of example for people32, but man is the most quarrelsome of all beings33.
Notes
[32] So that people may become mindful and be guided.
[33] Humans always defend their position instead of yielding to the truth. It pertains to disbelievers more than anyone else.
And indeed We have put forth every kind of example in this Qur’ân, for mankind. But, man is ever more quarrelsome than anything.
And verily We have displayed for mankind in this Qur'an all manner of similitudes, but man is more than anything contentious.
We have explained in detail in this Qur'an, for the benefit of mankind, every kind of similitude: but man is, in most things, contentious.
And certainly We have explained in this Quran every kind of example, and man is most of all given to contention.
And indeed We have already propounded for mankind in this Qur'an all manner of similitude, and man has (always) been in most (things) (interested) in disputes (Literally: the most disputing of things).
And We have certainly diversified [the contents] in this Qur’ān that they [i.e., mankind] may be reminded, but it does not increase them [i.e., the disbelievers] except in aversion.
