( ولا تكونوا كالذين قالوا سمعنا وهم لا يسمعون ) أي : يقولون بألسنتهم سمعنا بآذاننا وهم لا يسمعون ، أي لا يتعظون ولا ينتفعون بسماعهم فكأنهم لم يسمعوا .
And do not be O you believers, like the hypocrites and idolators who when the verses of Allah are recited to them, say that they have heard the Qur’ān that has been recited to them, when they have not listened in a reflective way, learning from it so that they would benefit from what they heard.
