أَفَلَمْ يَسِيرُواْ فِي ٱلأَرْضِ فَتَكُونَ لَهُمْ قُلُوبٌ يَعْقِلُونَ بِهَآ أَوْ آذَانٌ يَسْمَعُونَ بِهَا فَإِنَّهَا لاَ تَعْمَى ٱلأَبْصَارُ وَلَـٰكِن تَعْمَىٰ ٱلْقُلُوبُ ٱلَّتِي فِي ٱلصُّدُورِ
٤٦
-Al-Hajj ( الحج )

Tafsir al-Jalalayn

Have they, namely, the disbelievers of Mecca, not travelled in the land so that they may have hearts with which to comprehend, what befell deniers before them, or ears with which to hear?, the stories of how they were destroyed and their dwelling-places were ruined, and so take heed? Indeed it is not the eyes that turn blind, but it is the hearts that turn blind within the breasts (allatī fī’l-sudūr, for emphasis).
