Tafsir as-Sa'di on Quran 30:52
Taysir al-Karim al-Rahman by Abd al-Rahman al-Sa'di (d. 1956), in the original Arabic.
وهؤلاء لا ينفع فيهم وعظ ولا زجر { فَإِنَّكَ لَا تُسْمِعُ الْمَوْتَى وَلَا تُسْمِعُ الصُّمَّ الدُّعَاءَ } وبالأولى { إِذَا وَلَّوْا مُدْبِرِينَ } فإن الموانع قد توفرت فيهم عن الانقياد والسماع النافع كتوفر هذه الموانع المذكورة عن سماع الصوت الحسي.
