Yunus • EN-TAFSIR-IBN-ABBAS
﴿ وَمِنْهُم مَّن يَسْتَمِعُونَ إِلَيْكَ ۚ أَفَأَنتَ تُسْمِعُ ٱلصُّمَّ وَلَوْ كَانُوا۟ لَا يَعْقِلُونَ ﴾
“And there are among them such as (pretend to] listen to thee: but canst thou cause the deaf to hearken even though they will not use their reason?”
(And of them) of the Jews (are some who listen unto thee) listen to your words and speech; it is also said that this means: of the Arab idolaters who listen to your words and speech. (But canst thou) O Muhammad (make the deaf to hear even though they apprehend not) even though they have no desire to apprehend?
