They recognise God’s grace that is they affirm that it comes from Him and then deny it by associating others with Him and most of them are ungrateful.
Ibn Abbas Commentary
When the Prophet (pbuh) mentioned to them all those blessings, they agreed that all those blessings came from Allah, but then they denied this afterward, and said: no, we have all these blessings through the intercession of our gods. Allah said in response: (They know the favour of Allah) they acknowledge that all these blessings are from Allah (and then deny it) saying: we got them through the intercession of our gods. (Most of them are ingrates) all of them are disbelievers in Allah.
