ولقد ذرانا لجهنم كثيرا من الجن والانس لهم قلوب لا يفقهون بها ولهم اعين لا يبصرون بها ولهم اذان لا يسمعون بها اولئك كالانعام بل هم اضل اولئك هم الغافلون

Many are the Jinns and men We have made for Hell: They have hearts wherewith they Understand not, eyes wherewith They see not, and ears wherewith They hear not. They are Like cattle,—nay more Misguided: for they Are heedless (of warning).
