And if you call upon them that is the idols to guidance they do not hear; and you see them that is the idols O Muhammad (s) staring at you looking toward you as a person looks but they do not perceive.
Ibn Abbas Commentary
(And if ye (Muslims) call them to the Guidance) to the Truth (they hear not) nor answer because they are not living but dead; (and thou seest them) O Muhammad (looking towards you) with their eyes open as if they are looking at you, (but they see not) because they are not living but dead.
