  Have you heard the faults of the transient world? Who would buy dates riddled with wasps?

  عُيُوبَ — faults. A noun 'faults' that is the thing heard — the direct object of the verb, so it takes the object ending — and it heads a possessive link with the next word ('faults of ...'). As the owned head it drops its own 'the'. The plural is an irregular reshaped form. It names what the listeners are asked about.
