Aal-i-Imraan • EN-ASBAB-AL-NUZUL-BY-AL-WAHIDI
﴿ إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ بَعْدَ إِيمَٰنِهِمْ ثُمَّ ٱزْدَادُوا۟ كُفْرًۭا لَّن تُقْبَلَ تَوْبَتُهُمْ وَأُو۟لَٰٓئِكَ هُمُ ٱلضَّآلُّونَ ﴾
“Verily, as for those who are bent on denying the truth after having attained to faith, and then grow [ever more stubborn] in their refusal to acknowledge the truth, their repentance [of other sins] shall not be accepted: for it is they who have truly gone astray.”
(Lo! those who disbelieve after their (profession of) belief�) [3:90]. Said al-Hasan, Qatadah and �Ata� al-Khurasani: �This was revealed about the Jews who disbelieved in Jesus and the Gospel and added to their disbelief by disbelieving in Muhammad and the Qur�an�. And Abu�l-�Aliyah said: �This was revealed about the Jews and Christians who disbelieved in Muhammad, Allah bless him and give him peace, after they had believed in his attributes and description, and then added to their disbelief by remaining disbelievers�.
