Tafseer
'Abdullāh Ibn 'Abbās / Muḥammad al-Fīrūzabādī
تفسير : (in that day) which is the day of judgement (their excuses) for the sins they committed (will not profit those who did injustice) those who associated partners with allah, (nor will they be allowed to make amends) their repentance will not be accepted and they will not be returned to the life of this world.
Jalāl al-Dīn al-Maḥallī
تفسير : so on that day their excuses, for denying it, will not profit (read lā yanfa‘u or lā tanfa‘u) the evildoers, nor will they be asked to make amends (yusta‘tabūna means ‘they will [not] be asked for al-‘utbā’, which denotes ‘a return to that which pleases god’).
