They also say, 'If we had only heard, or had understood, we would not have been of the inhabitants of the Blaze.'

They will say, ‘If only we had listened, or reasoned, we would not be with the inhabitants of the blazing fire,’ and

And they will say: had we been wont to hearken or to reflect, we had not been among the fellows of the Blaze.

They will further say; "Had we but listened or used our intelligence, we should not (now) be among the Companions of the Blazing Fire!"

They will say: 'If we had only listened and understood, we would not be among the inmates of the Blazing Fire.'”

They will say: "If we had listened and been wise, we would not have been among the inmates of Hell."

And they will say, “Had we listened or understood, we would not have been among the people of hell.”

And they will say, ‘Had we listened or applied reason, we would not have been among inmates of the Blaze.’

They will say: "If only we had listened (to him) or reasoned (and distinguished what was to our benefit from what was to our harm, and acted accordingly), we would not (now) be among the companions of the Blaze."

And they will add, `If we had only listened and tried to understand we would not have been among the inmates of the blazing Fire (this day).´

And they said: "If we were hearing/listening or reasoning/comprehending we would not have been in (between) the blazing`s/inflamed`s (inferno`s) owners/company/friends."

And they shall say, "Had we but listened or pondered (used our reason or intelligence), we should not have been among the inmates of the Blazing Fire."

And they will say: "Had we but listened or used our intelligence, we would not have been among the dwellers of the blazing Fire!"

And they will say, `Had we listened, that is, listening so as to understand, or comprehended, that is, comprehension entailing reflection [upon the truth], we would not have been among the inhabitants of the Blaze'.

وَقَالُوا

They will say,

لَوْ كُنَّا نَسْمَعُ أَوْ نَعْقِلُ مَا كُنَّا فِي أَصْحَابِ السَّعِيرِ




Had we but listened or used our intelligence, we would not have been among the dwellers of the blazing Fire!

meaning, `if we would have benefited from our intellects or listened to the truth that Allah revealed, we would not have been disbelieving in Allah and misguided about Him. But we did not have understanding to comprehend what the Messengers came with, and we did not have the intelligence to guide us to following them.'

Allah then says,

فَاعْتَرَفُوا بِذَنبِهِمْ فَسُحْقًا لاَِّصْحَابِ السَّعِيرِ
