Sura 6 Al-An'am (The Cattle), ayah 25

  1. وَمِنْهُمْ مَنْ يَسْتَمِعُ إِلَيْكَ ۖ وَجَعَلْنَا عَلَىٰ قُلُوبِهِمْ أَكِنَّةً أَنْ يَفْقَهُوهُ وَفِي آذَانِهِمْ وَقْرًا ۚ وَإِنْ يَرَوْا كُلَّ آيَةٍ لَا يُؤْمِنُوا بِهَا ۚ حَتَّىٰ إِذَا جَاءُوكَ يُجَادِلُونَكَ يَقُولُ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا إِنْ هَٰذَا إِلَّا أَسَاطِيرُ الْأَوَّلِينَ

    Translation by words

    وَمِنْهُم
    And among them
    مَّن
    (are those) who
    يَسْتَمِعُ
    listen
    إِلَيْكَ
    to you,
    وَجَعَلْنَا
    but We have placed
    عَلَىٰ
    over
    قُلُوبِهِمْ
    their hearts
    أَكِنَّةً
    coverings
    أَن
    lest
    يَفْقَهُوهُ
    they understand it,
    وَفِىٓ
    and in
    ءَاذَانِهِمْ
    their ears
    وَقْرًا
    deafness.
    وَإِن
    And if
    يَرَوْا۟
    they see
    كُلَّ
    every
    ءَايَةٍ
    sign
    لَّا
    not
    يُؤْمِنُوا۟
    will they believe
    بِهَا
    in it.
    حَتَّىٰٓ
    Until,
    إِذَا
    when
    جَآءُوكَ
    they come to you
    يُجَٰدِلُونَكَ
    and argue with you
    يَقُولُ
    say
    ٱلَّذِينَ
    those who
    كَفَرُوٓا۟
    disbelieved,
    إِنْ
    "Not
    هَٰذَآ
    (is) this
    إِلَّآ
    but
    أَسَٰطِيرُ
    (the) tales
    ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ
    (of) the former (people)."

    And among them are those who listen to you, but We have placed over their hearts coverings, lest they understand it, and in their ears deafness. And if they should see every sign, they will not believe in it. Even when they come to you arguing with you, those who disbelieve say, "This is not but legends of the former peoples."
