Surely Allah does not feel shy in giving the example of a mosquito

- .... He said: My father told me, from al-Nadr ibn Suwayd, from al-Qism ibn Suleiman, from al-Mu'alli ibn Khinis, from Abu Abdullah (peace be upon him), that this parable was set by Allah for the Commander of the Faithful (peace be upon him), and the mosquito represents the Commander of the Faithful (peace be upon him), while what is above it represents the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him and his holy progeny).

- .... It was narrated from al-Sadiq (peace be upon him) that he said: "Allah only set forth the example of the mosquito because, despite its small size, Allah created in it all that He created in the elephant, with its immense size, and two additional body parts. Therefore, Allah, the Exalted, wanted to remind the believers of His subtle creation and wondrous craftsmanship."
Reason for the weakness of the narration: (1) - It is noted that the tafsir is not by al-Qummi but rather attributed to al-Qummi. It is a tafsir that is not relied upon by the Shi'a and is considered non-authoritative.
(2) - In the narration, (al-Qism ibn Sulayman) is regarded as one of the unknowns and weak narrators.

- .... So reflect and engage in discussion - regarding the interruption of the source and the generalities due to the general prohibition of praying in pure silk and the ignorance of Jarrah and al-Qasim ibn Sulayman who narrated the report from him.
