An-Nisaa · Ayah 116 · View Ayah
إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَا يَغْفِرُ أَن يُشْرَكَ بِهِۦ وَيَغْفِرُ مَا دُونَ ذَٰلِكَ لِمَن يَشَآءُ ۚ وَمَن يُشْرِكْ بِٱللَّهِ فَقَدْ ضَلَّ ضَلَٰلًۢا بَعِيدًا
Indeed, Allah does not forgive association with Him, but He forgives what is less than that for whom He wills. And he who associates others with Allah has certainly gone far astray.

Al-Jalalayn Commentary

God does not forgive that anything should be associated with Him; He forgives all except that to whomever He will. Whoever associates anything with God verily he has strayed far away from the truth.

(Lo! Allah pardoneth not that partners should be ascribed unto him) if one dies in this state, such as Tu'mah. (He pardoneth all save that) save the ascription of partners to Him (to whom He will) to whoever is fit for it. (Whoso ascribeth partners unto Allah hath wandered far astray) from guidance.
