وَحَسِبُوٓاْ أَلَّا تَكُونَ فِتۡنَةٞ فَعَمُواْ وَصَمُّواْ ثُمَّ تَابَ ٱللَّهُ عَلَيۡهِمۡ ثُمَّ عَمُواْ وَصَمُّواْ كَثِيرٞ مِّنۡهُمۡۚ وَٱللَّهُ بَصِيرُۢ بِمَا يَعۡمَلُونَ

(71) They thought that there would be no trial^[1227]; they were blinded and deafened, then Allah relented towards them, after that a great many of them were blinded and deafened—indeed Allah is All-Seeing of what they commit.

[1227] They deceived themselves by airily thinking that they would not be ‘tried’ for their grievous offences. Such self-deceit blinded and deafened them to seeing and hearing the Truth, thus they will not find a way to it. Even after God relented towards them and guided them at a certain juncture of time, a great many of them still fell back into their old ways (cf. al-Ṭabarī, Ibn Kathīr, al-Saʿdī).
