The word(s) "parable" appears 29 time(s) in 26 verse(s) in Quran in Abdullah Yusuf Ali translation.

(21) verily We have propounded for men, in this Qur'an every kind of parable: But if thou bring to them any Sign, the Unbelievers are sure to say, "Ye do nothing but talk vanities."

(22) Set forth to them, by way of a parable, the (story of) the Companions of the City. Behold!, there came messengers to it.

(23) We have put forth for men, in this Qur'an every kind of parable, in order that they may receive admonition.

(24) Allah puts forth a parable a man belonging to many partners at variance with each other, and a man belonging entirely to one master: are those two equal in comparison? Praise be to Allah! but most of them have no knowledge.

(25) So We destroyed (them)- stronger in power than these;- and (thus) has passed on the parable of the peoples of old.

(26) (Here is) a parable of the Garden which the righteous are promised: in it are rivers of water incorruptible; rivers of milk of which the taste never changes; rivers of wine, a joy to those who drink; and rivers of honey pure and clear. In it there are for them all kinds of fruits; and Grace from their Lord. (Can those in such Bliss) be compared to such as shall dwell for ever in the Fire, and be given, to drink, boiling water, so that it cuts up their bowels (to pieces)?
