وَلَوْ عَلِمَ اللَّهُ فِيهِمْ خَيْرًا لَأَسْمَعَهُمْ ۖ وَلَوْ أَسْمَعَهُمْ لَتَوَلَّوْا وَهُمْ مُعْرِضُونَ
Walaw AAalima Allahu feehim khayran laasmaAAahum walaw asmaAAahum latawallaw wahum muAAridoona (23)
( ولو علم الله فيهم خيرا لأسمعهم ) أي : لأسمعهم سماع التفهم والقبول ، ( ولو أسمعهم ) بعد أن علم أن لا خير فيهم ما انتفعوا بذلك ، ( لتولوا وهم معرضون ) لعنادهم وجحودهم الحق بعد ظهوره . وقيل : إنهم كانوا يقولون للنبي - صلى الله عليه وسلم - : أحي لنا قصيا فإنه كان شيخا مباركا حتى يشهد لك بالنبوة فنؤمن بك ، فقال الله - عز وجل - : " ولو أسمعهم " كلام قصي " لتولوا وهم معرضون " .
If Allah knew that there was good in these idolaters who reject the truth, He would have made them listen in a way that was beneficial to them, so that they would understand the proof and evidence; but He knows that there is no good in them, and that if He made them hear, they would still turn away stubbornly, rejecting what they heard.
