quran:22:46 –

So have they not traveled through the earth and have hearts by which to reason and ears by which to hear? For indeed, it is not eyes that are blinded, but blinded are the hearts which are within the breasts.  

Have they, namely, the disbelievers of Mecca, not travelled in the land so that they may have hearts with which to comprehend, what befell deniers before them, or ears with which to hear?, the stories of how they were destroyed and their dwelling-places were ruined, and so take heed? Indeed it is not the eyes that turn blind, but it is the hearts that turn blind within the breasts (allatī fī’l-sudūr, for emphasis).
القرآن:٢٢:٤٦ –

أَفَلَمْ يَسِيرُوا فِي الْأَرْضِ فَتَكُونَ لَهُمْ قُلُوبٌ يَعْقِلُونَ بِهَا أَوْ آذَانٌ يَسْمَعُونَ بِهَا ۖ فَإِنَّهَا لَا تَعْمَى الْأَبْصَارُ وَلَٰكِنْ تَعْمَى الْقُلُوبُ الَّتِي فِي الصُّدُورِ  

{أفلم يسيروا} أي كفار مكة {في الأرض فتكون لهم قلوب يعقلون بها} ما نزل بالمكذبين قبلهم {أو آذان يسمعون بها} أخبارهم بإلاهلاك وخراب الديار فيعتبروا {فإنها} أي القصة {لا تعمى الأبصار ولكن تعمى القلوب التي في الصدور} تأكيد.
