Here listening has been given priority over understanding, the reason being that the pre-requisite of obtaining guidance is to listen to what the Prophet teaches, or to read if it is in the written form, like a seeker after truth. To ponder over it in an attempt to understand the truth is secondary. Without the Prophet’s guidance man cannot by himself reach the truth directly by using his intellect and common sense. ### Abdel Khalek Himmat — Al- Muntakhab And they add, "had we opened our hearts' ears or used our minds' eyes, we would never be among those destined to the blazes of Hell". ### Bijan Moeinian Then they will say with sorrow: "If we had listened, we would not have ended up here in Hell.
