2:88

وَقَالُوا۟ قُلُوبُنَا غُلْفٌۢ ۚ بَل لَّعَنَهُمُ ٱللَّهُ بِكُفْرِهِمْ فَقَلِيلًۭا مَّا يُؤْمِنُونَ

And they said, "Our hearts are wrapped." But, [in fact], Allah has cursed them for their disbelief, so little is it that they believe.

Tafsir

Ibn Kathīr (abridged)

Muhammad bin Ishaq reported that Ibn `Abbas said that,

وَقَالُواْ قُلُوبُنَا غُلْفٌ

(And they say, "Our hearts are Ghulf."), means, "Our hearts are screened." Mujahid also said that,

وَقَالُواْ قُلُوبُنَا غُلْفٌ

(And they say, "Our hearts are Ghulf."), means, "They are covered."`Ikrimah said, "There is a stamp on them." Abu Al-`Aliyah said, "They do not comprehend." Mujahid and Qatadah said that Ibn `Abbas read the Ayah in a way that means, "Our hearts contain every type of knowledge and do not need the knowledge that you (O Muhammad) have." This is the opinion of `Ata' and Ibn `Abbas.

بَل لَّعَنَهُمُ اللَّهُ بِكُفْرِهِمْ
