Surah Ar-Rum — Ayah 52 (30:52)

The Romans · Makkah · Juz 21 · Mushaf page 410 of 604

فَإِنَّكَ لَا تُسۡمِعُ ٱلۡمَوۡتَىٰ وَلَا تُسۡمِعُ ٱلصُّمَّ ٱلدُّعَآءَ إِذَا وَلَّوۡاْ مُدۡبِرِينَ ٥٢

English translation (Saheeh International)

So indeed, you will not make the dead hear, nor will you make the deaf hear the call when they turn their backs, retreating.

Brief commentary

So just as you are incapable of making the dead and deaf hear, after they have distanced themselves from you to emphasise their inability to hear you, likewise you cannot guide those who are similar to them if they turn away and do not benefit.
