Tafsir Ibn Abbas: Ar-Room, Ayah 29
بَلِ ٱتَّبَعَ ٱلَّذِينَ ظَلَمُوٓا۟ أَهْوَآءَهُم بِغَيْرِ عِلْمٍۢ ۖ فَمَن يَهْدِى مَنْ أَضَلَّ ٱللَّهُ ۖ وَمَا لَهُم مِّن نَّٰصِرِينَ
But those who wrong follow their [own] desires without knowledge. Then who can guide one whom Allah has sent astray? And for them there are no helpers.

Nay but those who do evil through idolatry follow their own desires without any knowledge. So who will guide he whom God has led astray? that is to say he will have none to guide him. And they have no helpers no protectors against God’s chastisement.
Ibn Abbas Commentary
(Nay, but those who do wrong) those who disbelieved: the Jews and Christians and idolaters (follow their own lusts) i.e. that which they presently follow: Judaism, Christianity and idolatry (without knowledge) or proof. (Who is able to guide him) to Allah's religion (whom Allah hath sent astray) from His religion? (For such) for the Jews, Christians and idolaters (there are no helpers) no one to save them from Allah's chastisement.
