8. Enfal · verses 20–22

يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوٓاْ أَطِيعُواْ ٱللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُۥ وَلَا تَوَلَّوۡاْ عَنۡهُ وَأَنتُمۡ تَسۡمَعُونَ

Ya ayyuha allatheena amanoo ateeAAoo Allaha warasoolahu wala tawallaw AAanhu waantum tasmaAAoona

O ye who believe! Obey Allah and His Messenger, and turn not away from him when ye hear (him speak).

وَلَا تَكُونُواْ كَٱلَّذِينَ قَالُواْ سَمِعۡنَا وَهُمۡ لَا يَسۡمَعُونَ

Wala takoonoo kaallatheena qaloo samiAAna wahum la yasmaAAoona

Nor be like those who say, "We hear," but listen not:

۞ إِنَّ شَرَّ ٱلدَّوَآبِّ عِندَ ٱللَّهِ ٱلصُّمُّ ٱلۡبُكۡمُ ٱلَّذِينَ لَا يَعۡقِلُونَ

Inna sharra alddawabbi AAinda Allahi alssummu albukmu allatheena la yaAAqiloona

For the worst of beasts in the sight of Allah are the deaf and the dumb,- those who understand not.
