ثُمَّ قَسَتْ قُلُوبُكُم مِّنۢ بَعْدِ ذَٰلِكَ فَهِىَ كَٱلْحِجَارَةِ أَوْ أَشَدُّ قَسْوَةًۭ ۚ وَإِنَّ مِنَ ٱلْحِجَارَةِ لَمَا يَتَفَجَّرُ مِنْهُ ٱلْأَنْهَٰرُ ۚ وَإِنَّ مِنْهَا لَمَا يَشَّقَّقُ فَيَخْرُجُ مِنْهُ ٱلْمَآءُ ۚ وَإِنَّ مِنْهَا لَمَا يَهْبِطُ مِنْ خَشْيَةِ ٱللَّهِ ۗ وَمَا ٱللَّهُ بِغَٰفِلٍ عَمَّا تَعْمَلُونَ
How to read it
Thumma qassat' qulūbukum mmin[m] baʻ'di dhālika fahiya kal-ḥijārati 'aw' 'ashaddu qas'watan . wa'inna mina l-ḥijārati lamā yatafajjaru min'hu l-'an'hāru . wa'inna min'hā lamā yashshaqqaqu fayakh'ruju min'hu l-mā'u . wa'inna min'hā lamā yah'biṭu min' khash'yati -llahi . wamā -llahu bighāfilin ʻammā taʻ'malūna
Thenceforth were your hearts hardened: They became like a rock and even worse in hardness. For among rocks there are some from which rivers gush forth; others there are which when split asunder send forth water; and others which sink for fear of Allah. And Allah is not unmindful of what ye do.
Translation: Abdullah Yusuf Ali
