Do Not Listen
وَقَالَ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ لَا تَسۡمَعُواْ لِهَٰذَا ٱلۡقُرۡءَانِ وَٱلۡغَوۡاْ فِيهِ لَعَلَّكُمۡ تَغۡلِبُونَ ٢٦
Those who disbelieve say: Heed not this Qur’an, and drown the hearing of it; haply ye may conquer.
Translation: Marmaduke Pickthall
Meaning
They said: “Do not listen to this Qur’an and speak noisily during it.”
Insight
