Sura 9
Aya 127
127
وَإِذا ما أُنزِلَت سورَةٌ نَظَرَ بَعضُهُم إِلىٰ بَعضٍ هَل يَراكُم مِن أَحَدٍ ثُمَّ انصَرَفوا ۚ صَرَفَ اللَّهُ قُلوبَهُم بِأَنَّهُم قَومٌ لا يَفقَهونَ

Muhammad Asad

and whenever a surah is bestowed from on high, they look at one another [and say, as it were], "Is there anyone who can see what is in your hearts?"1- and then they turn away. God has turned their hearts away [from the truth] - for they are people who will not grasp it.2
  • Lit., "who sees you" - thus implying that God does not exist.
  • Cf. 8:55.
