7. Yet if he does not reform, you [4] are not responsible for him.

[4] That is, by ignoring the blind man, those people from whom you expect guidance are such that they listen to you as if they are doing you a great favor. Accepting your words is out of the question. Bringing such people to the right path is not your responsibility. Your responsibility is only to convey Allah's message to them.
