الكن: ما يحفظ فيه الشيء. يقال: كننت
قوله: ﴿وجعل لكم من الجبال أكنانا﴾ [النحل: 81] هي جمع كن. والكن: ما يكنك أي يسترك ويصونك عما يؤذيك. وكننت الشيء: جعلته في كن، قيل: وخص كننت بما يستر بثوب أو بيت ونحوه من الأجسام؛ قال تعالى: ﴿كأنهن بيض مكنون﴾ [الصافات: 49] يريد بيض النعام لأنها تصونه بدفنه في الرمل.
Verses 1–4 of 4
Of them there are some Who (pretend to) listen to thee; But We have thrown Veils on their hearts, So they understand it not, And deafness in their ears; If they saw every one Of the Signs, not they Will believe in them; In so much that When they come to thee, They (but) dispute with thee; The Unbelievers say: "These are nothing But tales of the ancients."
Surah Al-An'am, verse 6:25And We put coverings Over their hearts (and minds) Lest they should understand The Qur-ān, and deafness Into their ears: when thou Dost commemorate thy Lord— And Him alone—in the Qur-ān, They turn on their backs, Fleeing (from the Truth).
Surah Al-Isra, verse 17:46And who doth more wrong Than one who is reminded Of the Signs of his Lord, But turns away from them, Forgetting the (deeds) which his hands Have sent forth? Verily We Have set veils over their hearts Lest they should understand this, and over their ears, deafness. If thou callest them To guidance, even then Will they never accept guidance.
Surah Al-Kahf, verse 18:57They say: "Our hearts are Under veils, (concealed) From that to which thou Dost invite us, and In our ears is a deafness, And between us and thee Is a screen: so do Thou (what thou wilt); For us, we shall do (What we will!)"
Surah Fussilat, verse 41:5
