Tafsir
Is he whose breast God has opened to Islam and becomes guided so that he follows a light from his Lord …? like he whose heart He has sealed with disbelief? — this understanding of the ellipsis is indicated by what follows. So woe — an expression indicating ‘chastisement’ — to those whose hearts have been hardened against the remembrance of God that is hardened against the acceptance of the Qur’ān. Such are in manifest error.

Ibn Abbas Commentary
(Is he whose bosom Allah hath expanded) and whose heart Allah made soft (for the Surrender (unto Him)) by means of the light of Islam, (so that he followeth a light from His Lord) so that he is honoured by his Lord and follows the exposition which came from his Lord-the reference here is to 'Ammar Ibn Yasir-as he whose heart is expanded for disbelief, i.e. Abu Jahl? (Then woe) then severe punishment; it is also said: then a valley of puss and blood in Gehenna (unto those whose hearts are hardened against remembrance of Allah) unto those whose hearts are not softened by the remembrance of Allah; the reference here is to Abu Jahl and his host. (Such) those who have such traits (are in plain error) in manifest disbelief.
