Qur'an 31:7

And when Our revelations are recited unto him he turneth away in pride as if he heard them not, as if there were a deafness in his ears. So give him tidings of a painful doom.

And when Our communications are recited to him, he turns back proudly, as if he had not heard them, as though in his ears were a heaviness, therefore announce to him a painful chastisement.

Kuma idan an karanta ãyõyinMu a gare shi, sai ya jũya bãya, yanã mai girman kai, kamar dai bai saurãre su ba kamar dai akwai wanĩ danni a kan kunnuwansa! To, ka yi masa bushãra da azãba mai raɗaɗi.

Then Allah says: وَإِذَا تُتْلَى عَلَيْهِ آيَاتُنَا وَلَّى مُسْتَكْبِرًا كَأَن لَّمْ يَسْمَعْهَا كَأَنَّ فِي أُذُنَيْهِ وَقْرًا ... And when Our Ayat are recited to such a one, he turns away in pride, as if he heard them not -- as if there were deafness in his ear. means, when these Qur'anic verses are recited to one who is fond of idleness and play, he turns away from them and does not want to hear them. He turns a deaf ear to them as if he can hear nothing, because it annoys him to hear them since he gains no benefit from them and has no interest in them. ... فَبَشِّرْهُ بِعَذَابٍ أَلِيمٍ ﴿٧﴾ So announce to him a painful torment. i.e., on the Day of Resurrection, which will hurt him just as much as listening to the Book of Allah and its verses hurt him.
