Open in Qurani

Allah then said:

ومنهم من يستمعون إليك

And among them are some who listen to you, They listen to your beautiful talk and to the Glorious Qur'an. They listen to your truthful, eloquent and authentic Hadiths that are useful to the hearts, the bodies and their faith. This is indeed a great benefit and is sufficient. But guiding the people to the truth is not up to you or to them. You cannot make the deaf hear. Therefore you cannot guide these people except if Allah wishes.

أفٲنت تسمع الصم ولو كانوا ﻻ يعقلون

but can you make the deaf to hear -- even though they apprehend not!
