Quran 8:23 — The Spoils of War (Al-Anfal)

وَلَو عَلِمَ اللَّهُ فيهِم خَيرًا لَأَسمَعَهُم ۖ وَلَو أَسمَعَهُم لَتَوَلَّوا وَهُم مُعرِضونَ

Had GOD known of any good in them, He would have made them hearers. Even if He made them hearers, they still would turn away in aversion.

[8:22] The worst creatures in the sight of GOD are the deaf and dumb, who do not understand.

[8:24] O you who believe, you shall respond to GOD and to the messenger when he invites you to what gives you life.* You should know that GOD is closer to you than your heart, and that before Him you will be summoned.
