لِنَجْعَلَهَا لَكُمْ تَذْكِرَةً وَتَعِيَهَا أُذُنٌ وَاعِيَةٌ (12)
(69:12) so that We might make it an instructive event for you, and retentive ears might preserve its memory. *9
*9) "The retaining ears,..": the ears which may hear it consciously and take it in. Although the word ear has been used, it unplies the hearers who may hear the event and always remember it, take heed from it, and may never forget what dreadful fate the deniers of the Hereafter and the disbelievers of the Messenger of God would ultimately suffer.
