Their insight (perception) was blocked from my dhikr (remembrance)! And their capacity was inadequate to perceive and comprehend!
Sayyed Abbas Sadr-Ameli
Those whose eyes were under a cover from My remembrance, and they could not bear to hear (the Truth)
Al-muntakhab fi tafsir al-Qur'an al-Karim
Whose bodily eyes and their minds' eyes were veiled. from apprehension, knowledge or perception of My divine nature and My Omnipotence and Authority and from My signs and veritable revelations; they counselled deaf and were unwilling to open their hearts' ears
