S: And of them is he who hearkens to you, and We have cast veils over their hearts lest they understand it and a heaviness into their ears; and even if they see every sign they will not believe in it; so much so that when they come to you they only dispute with you; those who disbelieve say: This is naught but the stories of the ancients.

S: And they prohibit (others) from it and go far away from it, and they only bring destruction upon their own souls while they do not perceive.
