Or (another similitude) is that of a rain-laden cloud from the sky: In it are zones of darkness, and thunder and lightning: They press their fingers in their ears to keep out the stunning thunder-clap, the while they are in terror of death. But Allah is ever round the rejecters of Faith!

Of them there are some who (pretend to) listen to thee; but We have thrown veils on their hearts, So they understand it not, and deafness in their ears; if they saw every one of the signs, not they will believe in them; in so much that when they come to thee, they (but) dispute with thee; the Unbelievers say: "These are nothing but tales of the ancients."

And We put coverings over their hearts (and minds) lest they should understand the Qur'an, and deafness into their ears: when thou dost commemorate thy Lord and Him alone in the Qur'an, they turn on their backs, fleeing (from the Truth).

Then We draw (a veil) over their ears, for a number of years, in the Cave, (so that they heard not):

And who doth more wrong than one who is reminded of the Signs of his Lord, but turns away from them, forgetting the (deeds) which his hands have sent forth? Verily We have set veils over their hearts lest they should understand this, and over their ears, deafness, if thou callest them to guidance, even then will they never accept guidance.

Had We sent this as a Qur'an (in the language) other than Arabic, they would have said: "Why are not its verses explained in detail? What! (a Book) not in Arabic and (a Messenger an Arab?" Say: "It is a Guide and a Healing to those who believe; and for those who believe not, there is a deafness in their ears, and it is blindness in their (eyes): They are (as it were) being called from a place far distant!"

"And every time I have called to them, that Thou mightest forgive them, they have (only) thrust their fingers into their ears, covered themselves up with their garments, grown obstinate, and given themselves up to arrogance.

或者如遭遇倾盆大雨者，雨里有重重黑暗，又有雷和电，他们恐怕震死，故用手指塞住耳朵，以避疾雷。真主是周知不信道的人们的。

他们中有倾听你的，我在他们的心上加蒙蔽，以免他们了解《古兰经》。又在他们的耳中造重听。他们即使看见－切迹象，他们也不会确信。等到他们来和你辩论的时候，不信道的人说：“这只是古人的神话。”

我在他们的心上加了许多罩子，以免他们了解《古兰经》；又在他们的耳里造重听，当你在《古兰经》里只提到你的主的时候，他们憎恶地离去。

我就使他们在山洞里几年不能听闻。

有人以主的迹象教诲他们，但他们鄙弃它，并且忘记他们以前所犯的罪恶；有谁比他们还不义呢？我确已将薄膜加在他们的心上，以免他们了解经义，并且在他们的耳里造重听。如果你召他们于正道，那末，他们将永不遵循正道。

假若我降示一部外国语的《古兰经》，他们必定会说：“怎么不解释其中的节文呢？一部外国语的经典和一个阿拉伯的先知吗？”你说：“它是信道者的向导和药方；不信道者听而不闻，视而不见，因为这些人是从远处被喊叫的。”

我每次召唤他们来受你的赦宥的时候，他们总是以指头塞住他们的耳朵，以衣服蒙住他们的头，他们固执而自大。
