There are some of them who prick up their ears at you, but We have cast veils on their hearts lest they should understand it, and a deafness into their ears; and though they should see every sign, they will not believe in it. When they come to you, to dispute with you, the faithless say, ‘These are nothing but myths of the ancients.’
و برخى از آنان به تو گوش فرا مى‌دهند، و[لى‌] ما بر دلهايشان پرده‌ها افكنده‌ايم تا آن را نفهمند، و در گوشهايشان سنگينى [قرار داده‌ايم‌]. و اگر هر معجزه‌اى را ببينند به آن ايمان نمى‌آورند. تا آنجا كه وقتى نزد تو مى‌آيند و با تو جدال مى‌كنند، كسانى كه كفر ورزيدند، مى‌گويند: «اين [كتاب‌] چيزى جز افسانه‌هاى پيشينيان نيست.»
