Has the time then not come for those who confirmed Allah and His Messenger and followed his guidance, that their hearts be softened at the mention of Allah and the hearing of the Qur'an, and they not be in the hardness of the hearts like those who were given the Book from before them-from the Jews and the Christians-those whom the time was long upon them so they replaced the speech of Allah, so their hearts became hard, and many of them are ones going out from the obedience of Allah? And in the verse is the encouragement on the softness and the humility for Allah Glorified be He at the hearing of what He sent down of the Book and wisdom, and the caution from the imitation of the Jews and the Christians, in the hardness of their hearts, and their going out from the obedience of Allah.
