* تفسير Tanwîr al-Miqbâs min Tafsîr Ibn ‘Abbâs

{ وَسَوَآءُ عَلَيْهِمْ أَأَنذَرْتَهُمْ أَمْ لَمْ تُنذِرْهُمْ لاَ يُؤمِنُونَ }

(Whether thou warn them) whether you warn the Banu Makhzum: Abu Jahl and his host, by means of the Qur'an (or thou warn them not, it is alike for them, for they believe not) they do not want to believe; and they were later killed on the Day of Badr in their state of disbelief. The verses from (Lo! we have put on their necks) to (…so that they are made stiff necked) were revealed about Abu Jahl, al-Walid and their hosts.
