5:71
وَحَسِبُوا أَلاَّ تَكُونَ فِتْنَة ٌ فَعَمُوا وَصَمُّوا ثُمَّ تَابَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِمْ ثُمَّ عَمُوا وَصَمُّوا كَثِير ٌ مِنْهُمْ وَاللَّهُ بَصِير ٌ بِمَا يَعْمَلُونَ
Wa Ĥasibū 'Allā Takūna Fitnatun Fa`amū Wa Şammū Thumma Tāba Allāhu `Alayhim Thumma `Amū Wa Şammū Kathīrun Minhum Wa Allāhu Başīrun Bimā Ya`malūna
And they did not consider it might be a test, so they were blind and deaf. But God would have accepted the repentance from them; but many of them were still blind and deaf. God is Seer over what they do.

صُمّ ٌ بُكْمٌ عُمْي ٌ فَهُمْ لاَ يَرْجِعُونَ
Şummun Bukmun `Umyun Fahum Lā Yarji`ūna
Deaf, dumb, and blind, they will not return.
2:171
وَمَثَلُ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا كَمَثَلِ الَّذِي يَنْعِقُ بِمَا لاَ يَسْمَعُ إِلاَّ دُعَاء ً وَنِدَاء ً صُمّ ٌ بُكْمٌ عُمْي ٌ فَهُمْ لاَ يَعْقِلُونَ
Wa Mathalu Al-Ladhīna Kafarū Kamathali Al-Ladhī Yan`iqu Bimā Lā Yasma`u 'Illā Du`ā'an Wa Nidā'an Şummun Bukmun `Umyun Fahum Lā Ya`qilūna
And the example of those who disbelieve is like one who repeats what he has heard of calls and cries; deaf, dumb, and blind, they do not comprehend.
6:39
وَالَّذِينَ كَذَّبُوا بِآيَاتِنَا صُمّ ٌ وَبُكْم ٌ فِي الظُّلُمَاتِ مَنْ يَشَإِ اللَّهُ يُضْلِلْهُ وَمَنْ يَشَأْ يَجْعَلْهُ عَلَى صِرَاط ٍ مُسْتَقِيم ٍ
Wa Al-Ladhīna Kadhdhabū Bi'āyātinā Şummun Wa Bukmun Fī Až-žulumāti Man Yasha'i Allāhu YuĐlilhu Wa Man Yasha' Yaj`alhu `Alá Şirāţin Mustaqīmin
And those who deny Our revelations, they are deaf and dumb, in darkness. Whoever God wishes He misguides, and whoever He wishes He puts him on a straight path.

إِنَّ شَرَّ الدَّوَابِّ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ الصُّمُّ الْبُكْمُ الَّذِينَ لاَ يَعْقِلُونَ
'Inna Sharra Ad-Dawābbi `Inda Allāhi Aş-Şummu Al-Bukmu Al-Ladhīna Lā Ya`qilūna
The worst creatures with God are the deaf and dumb who do not comprehend.
10:42
وَمِنْهُمْ مَنْ يَسْتَمِعُونَ إِلَيْكَ أَفَأَنْتَ تُسْمِعُ الصُّمَّ وَلَوْ كَانُوا لاَ يَعْقِلُونَ
Wa Minhum Man Yastami`ūna 'Ilayka 'Afa'anta Tusmi`u Aş-Şumma Wa Law Kānū Lā Ya`qilūna
And there are some of them who listen to you; but can you make the deaf hear, if they do not comprehend?
11:24
مَثَلُ الْفَرِيقَيْنِ كَالأَعْمَى وَالأَصَمِّ وَالْبَصِيرِ وَالسَّمِيعِ هَلْ يَسْتَوِيَانِ مَثَلاً أَفَلاَ تَذَكَّرُونَ
Mathalu Al-Farīqayni Kāl'a`má Wa Al-'Aşammi Wa Al-Başīri Wa As-Samī`i Hal Yastawiyāni Mathalāan 'Afalā Tadhakkarūna
The example of the two groups is like the blind and deaf, and the seer and hearer. Are they the same when compared? Do you not take heed?

وَمَنْ يَهْدِ اللَّهُ فَهُوَ الْمُهْتَدِ وَمَنْ يُضْلِلْ فَلَنْ تَجِدَ لَهُمْ أَوْلِيَاءَ مِنْ دُونِه ِِ وَنَحْشُرُهُمْ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ عَلَى وَجُوهِهِمْ عُمْيا ً وَبُكْما ً وَصُمّا ً مَأْوَاهُمْ جَهَنَّمُ كُلَّمَا خَبَتْ زِدْنَاهُمْ سَعِيرا ً
Wa Man Yahdi Allāhu Fahuwa Al-Muhtadi Wa Man YuĐlil Falan Tajida Lahum 'Awliyā'a Min Dūnihi Wa Naĥshuruhum Yawma Al-Qiyāmati `Alá Wajūhihim `Umyāan Wa Bukmāan Wa Şummāan Ma'wāhum Jahannamu Kullamā Khabat Zidnāhum Sa`īrāan
Whoever God guides is the truly guided one. And whoever He misguides then you will not find for them any allies except for Him. And We gather them on the Day of Resurrection on their faces, blind, mute, and deaf; their abode will be Hell. Every time it dies down, We increase for them the fire.
21:45
قُلْ إِنَّمَا أُنذِرُكُمْ بِالْوَحْيِ وَلاَ يَسْمَعُ الصُّمُّ الدُّعَاءَ إِذَا مَا يُنذَرُونَ
Qul 'Innamā 'Undhirukum Bil-Waĥyi Wa Lā Yasma`u Aş-Şummu Ad-Du`ā'a 'Idhā Mā Yundharūna
Say: "I am merely warning you with the inspiration." But the deaf do not hear the call when they are being warned.

And those who when they are reminded of the revelations of their Lord, they do not fall on them deaf and blind.

These are the ones whom God has cursed and thus He made them deaf and blinded their sight.
