The answer

The connotations of the Qur'anic verse endings vary according to their context. "There are signs for a people who reason" is mentioned when God's power is evident without deep contemplation. "For a people who reflect" is mentioned when the matter requires deliberation and thought. "For a people who listen" is mentioned in contexts that necessitate listening and guidance to what cannot be grasped by self-reflection, such as the states of sleep, which require hearing news from someone who is not asleep.
