Ibn Abbas Commentary
(With hearts preoccupied) with hearts heedless of the matter of the Hereafter. (And they confer in secret) they hide among themselves their disbelief in Muhammad (pbuh) and in the Qur'an. (The wrong-doers) these are the idolaters: Abu Jahl and his host; they say to one another: (say: Is this) they mean Muhammad (pbuh) (other than a mortal like you) other than a human being like you? (Will ye then succumb to magic) will you then believe in magic and lies (when ye see (it)) while knowing that it is magic and lies?
