Surah Ar-Rum

فَإِنَّكَ لَا تُسْمِعُ ٱلْمَوْتَىٰ وَلَا تُسْمِعُ ٱلصُّمَّ ٱلدُّعَآءَ إِذَا وَلَّوْا۟ مُدْبِرِينَ

Fa innaka lā tusmi‘ul-mautā wa lā tusmi‘uṣ-ṣummad-du‘ā'a iżā wallau mudbirīn(a).

So indeed, you will not make the dead hear, nor will you make the deaf hear the call when they turn their backs, retreating.
