Sura 9 At-Tawbah (The Repentance), ayah 127

  1. وَإِذَا مَا أُنْزِلَتْ سُورَةٌ نَظَرَ بَعْضُهُمْ إِلَىٰ بَعْضٍ هَلْ يَرَاكُمْ مِنْ أَحَدٍ ثُمَّ انْصَرَفُوا ۚ صَرَفَ اللَّهُ قُلُوبَهُمْ بِأَنَّهُمْ قَوْمٌ لَا يَفْقَهُونَ

    Translation by words

    وَإِذَا
    And whenever
    مَآ
    And whenever
    أُنزِلَتْ
    is revealed
    سُورَةٌ
    a Surah,
    نَّظَرَ
    look
    بَعْضُهُمْ
    some of them
    إِلَىٰ
    to
    بَعْضٍ
    others,
    هَلْ
    "Does
    يَرَىٰكُم
    see you
    مِّنْ
    any
    أَحَدٍ
    one?"
    ثُمَّ
    Then
    ٱنصَرَفُوا۟
    they turn away.
    صَرَفَ
    Allah has turned away
    ٱللَّهُ
    Allah has turned away
    قُلُوبَهُم
    their hearts
    بِأَنَّهُمْ
    because they
    قَوْمٌ
    (are) a people
    لَّا
    not
    يَفْقَهُونَ
    they understand.

    And whenever a surah is revealed, they look at each other, (saying), "Does anyone see you?" and then they dismiss themselves. Allah has dismissed their hearts because they are a people who do not understand.
