﴿ وَقَالَ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ لَا تَسْمَعُوا۟ لِهَٰذَا ٱلْقُرْءَانِ وَٱلْغَوْا۟ فِيهِ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَغْلِبُونَ ﴾

“NOW THOSE who are bent on denying the truth say [unto one another]: “Do not listen to this Qur’an, but rather talk frivolously about it, so that you might gain the upper hand!””

And those who disbelieve say during the Prophet’s s recitation of the Qur’ān ‘Do not listen to this Qur’ān and hoot it down make a din and so forth and clamour whenever he is reciting that perhaps you might prevail’ so that he will then desist from recitation.
