بِسْمِ اللّٰهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِیْمِ

30.52

فَاِنَّكَ لَا تُسْمِـعُ الْمَوْتٰى وَ لَا تُسْمِـعُ الصُّمَّ الدُّعَآءَ اِذَا وَلَّوْا مُدْبِرِیْنَ(52)

Kanz-ul-Irfan

So you can neither make the dead hear[1] nor make the deaf hear your call when they turn their backs in retreat.

Commentary

[1]

Here, “dead” does not refer to those who have actually passed away. Rather, it refers to disbelievers with dead hearts (spiritually dead). They have been likened to the dead because just as a lifeless body cannot attain benefit from admonition and advice, similarly, disbelievers with dead hearts cannot do so either. Therefore, it is not correct to present this verse as evidence to negate the hearing of the deceased; numerous hadith establish the hearing of the deceased and their recognition of those who come to visit their graves.
