The Holy Quran 31:7 — Surah Luqman

Arabic text

وَإِذَا تُتْلَىٰ عَلَيْهِ ءَايَـٰتُنَا وَلَّىٰ مُسْتَكْبِرًا كَأَن لَّمْ يَسْمَعْهَا كَأَنَّ فِىٓ أُذُنَيْهِ وَقْرًا ۖ فَبَشِّرْهُ بِعَذَابٍ أَلِيمٍ

Translation

When Our Aayaat are recited to them, they arrogantly turn away as if they have not heard them, as if there is a prop in their ears. Pass on (convey) to them the good news of an excruciating (painful) punishment (that lies in store for them).

Tafsir (excerpt) — Tafsir Usmani

that is, out of arrogance and pride he does not want to listen to Our verses; he becomes completely deaf.
