Besides this vigilance, the male
also makes a murmuring sound using
his gills and in this way keeps other hos-
tile fish away from the eggs. He knows
that this sound will threaten other fish
and will force them to go away.
Allah inspires male catfish to protect
their young in this way. Like all crea-
tures, this fish acts only in the way that
Allah inspires in it and thus ensures the
continuance of its species.
