سورة المطففين، الآية ١٤
كَلَّا بَلْ رَانَ عَلَىٰ قُلُوبِهِم مَّا كَانُوا۟ يَكْسِبُونَ ١٤
kallā bal rāna ʿalā qulūbihim mā kānū yaksibūna
No! Rather, the stain has covered their hearts of that which they were earning.1880
[1880] i.e., their sins.

The matter is not as these deniers thought. Instead, the sins they used to commit has dominated and covered their minds and they therefore have not seen the truth with their hearts.
No indeed! Their hearts have been stained by what they used to commit3!
[3] i.e., their sins and evil deeds.
Nay! But on their hearts is the Rân (covering of sins and evil deeds) which they used to earn.1
[1] (V.83:14) Narrated Abu Hurairah رضي الله عنه: Allâh’s Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم said, "When a slave (a person) commits a sin (an evil deed) a black dot is dotted on his heart. Then if that person gives up that evil deed (sin), begs Allâh to forgive him, and repents, then his heart is cleared (from that heart covering dot); but if he repeats the evil deed (sin), then that covering is increased till his heart is completely covered with it. And that is Ar-Rân which Allâh mentioned (in the Qur’ân), "Nay! but on their hearts is the Rân (covering of sins and evil deeds) which they used to earn." (At-Tirmidhi, Vol.5, Hadith No.3334).
Nay, but that which they have earned is rust upon their hearts.
By no means! but on their hearts is the stain of the (ill) which they do!
Nay! rather, what they used to do has become like rust upon their hearts.
Not at all! No indeed, (but) whatever they were earning has overlaid on their hearts.
