n.m. (pl. of aghlaf)
2:88
وَقَالُوا قُلُوبُنَا غُلْف ٌ بَلْ لَعَنَهُمُ اللَّهُ بِكُفْرِهِمْ فَقَلِيلا ً مَا يُؤْمِنُونَ
Wa Qālū Qulūbunā Ghulfun Bal La`anahumu Allāhu Bikufrihim Faqalīlāan Mā Yu'uminūna
And they said: "Our hearts are sealed!" No, it is God who has cursed them for their rejection, for very little do they believe.
4:155
فَبِمَا نَقْضِهِمْ مِيثَاقَهُمْ وَكُفْرِهِمْ بِآيَاتِ اللَّهِ وَقَتْلِهِمُ الأَنْبِيَاءَ بِغَيْرِ حَقّ ٍ وَقَوْلِهِمْ قُلُوبُنَا غُلْف ٌ بَلْ طَبَعَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهَا بِكُفْرِهِمْ فَلاَ يُؤْمِنُونَ إِلاَّ قَلِيلا ً
Fabimā NaqĐihim Mīthāqahum Wa Kufrihim Bi'āyāti Allāhi Wa Qatlihimu Al-'Anbiyā'a Bighayri Ĥaqqin Wa Qawlihim Qulūbunā Ghulfun Bal Ţaba`a Allāhu `Alayhā Bikufrihim Falā Yu'uminūna 'Illā Qalīlāan
So, for the breaking of their covenant, and their rejection of the revelations of God, and their killing of the prophets without right, and their saying: "Our hearts are shielded." Indeed, God has stamped upon their hearts because of their rejection; they do not believe, except for a few.
