Tafsir
Scholars largely agree on this ayah
And so you cannot make the dead hear nor can you make the deaf hear the call when read al-du‘ā’a idhā pronouncing both hamzas or by not pronouncing the second one that comes between it and the yā’ they go away with their backs turned.
Ibn Abbas Commentary
(For verily thou (Muhammad) canst not make the dead to hear) you cannot make someone who is like a dead man hear, (nor canst thou make the deaf) the person who pretends to be deaf (to hear the call) your call to the Truth and guidance (when they have turned to flee) from the Truth and guidance.
