* تفسير Tanwîr al-Miqbâs min Tafsîr Ibn ‘Abbâs

{ سَوَآءٌ عَلَيْهِمْ أَسْتَغْفَرْتَ لَهُمْ أَمْ لَمْ تَسْتَغْفِرْ لَهُمْ لَن يَغْفِرَ ٱللَّهُ لَهُمْ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ لاَ يَهْدِي ٱلْقَوْمَ ٱلْفَـٰسِقِينَ }

(Whether thou ask forgiveness for them) i.e. for the hypocrites, (or ask not forgiveness for them, Allah will not forgive them) as long as they persist on that. (Lo! Allah guideth not) forgives not (the evil-living folk) the hypocrites, i.e. those people whom Allah knew in His pre-eternal knowledge that they will die as hypocrites.
