Tafsir of Surah Al-Anbiyaa 21:3

﴿لَاهِيَةً قُلُوبُهُمْ وَأَسَرُّوا النَّجْوَى الَّذِينَ ظَلَمُوا هَلْ هَٰذَا إِلَّا بَشَرٌ مِّثْلُكُمْ أَفَتَأْتُونَ السِّحْرَ وَأَنتُمْ تُبْصِرُونَ﴾

Translation of the meaning

With their hearts distracted. And those who do wrong conceal their private conversation, [saying], "Is this [Prophet] except a human being like you? So would you approach magic while you are aware [of it]?"

وأما مقصود السماع وثمرته، والمطلوب منه فلا يحصل مع لهو القلب وغفلته وإعراضه«مدارج السالكين بين منازل إياك نعبد وإياك نستعين» 1/67
