8:23
English - Hazrat Molavi Sher Ali ra
Surely, the worst of beasts in the sight of Allah are the deaf and the dumb, who have no sense.
English - Five Volume Translation
Surely, [b]the worst of beasts in the sight of Allah are the deaf and the dumb, who have no sense.[1111]
8:56; 98:7.
Commentary:
The verse primarily refers to the hypocrites. They have ears but they listen not to the Word of God, so truly speaking they are deaf; they have tongues, but they do not seek after and inquire about the truth, so they are dumb; they have hearts, but they do not ponder over the truth, so they have no sense and do not understand. Indeed, if the gifts of hearing and of speaking and of thinking are taken away from man, he is left no better than a beast. Nay, he virtually becomes "the worst of beasts" for, in spite of possessing the faculty and power of hearing and speaking and thinking, he does not use these powers.
