have made them hear they would have turned away, averse.

Commentary
Da-waaabbi –
{moving along (beasts)}, daaa-bbatun – this word has passed
in Surah ‘An-‘aam, every such living being which may move from one
place to the other, is called daaa-bbatun.
‘As-summul-buk-mu –
(those who are deaf and dumb), ‘As-sum is plural of ‘asam
and ’al-buk-mu is plural of ‘abkum. These both
words were discussed in Surah Baqarah.
Mu’-rizuun – (the
averse people), this word is plural of the subject mu’-riz, origin
of which is ‘a’-raaz, derived from the word ‘arz. ‘Arz means
“edge, aside”. ‘A’-raaz means “to go or fall back, to be driven
aside”.
It was described earlier that
you should obey God Almighty and His Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and
peace be upon Him); and should not be like those people who hear but do not
accept. In this verse, the same matter has been emphasized and described more
clearly.
It is commanded that in the
sight of God Almighty; the worst of beasts are those who do not use the powers
properly, which have been given by Allah Almighty, as it is necessary to use
them. For example; He gave - ears for hearing so that the good instructions
should be listened, tongue for speaking the Truth, asserting that which is
right and asking about that which they could not understand. The heart and the
brain were given for the purpose that they should draw as a useful conclusion
from that which they heard and asked.
Those people who did not take
the works from the ear, the tongue and the sense; which Allah Almighty has
prescribed for them, those are entirely dead and gone. It aims that Allah
Almighty gave everyone healthy and wholesome ears but some of them became deaf
intentionally. He gave tongue but they became dumb. Due to this obstinacy; they
have lost their capability of hearing and understanding the well sayings.
Therefore, it is useless to cause to hear them, and even then if in such
condition, you make them hear, what will you expect from them except it that
they will turn away, averse?
This principle has been known
from above conversation that whenever any human being makes one’s good powers
useless and does not take work from them correctly, Allah Almighty leaves him
and does not show him Straight Path, and he is not guided. Those people who
believe in the Oneness of God Almighty, the Day of Resurrection and obey the
commands of His last Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon Him),
they hear His Sayings and Commands with full attention.
