Ibn Abbas Commentary

(Who heareth the revelations of Allah) who hears the recitation of Allah's verses (recited unto him) explaining the commands and prohibitions, (and then continueth in pride) in his disbelief too proud to believe in Muhammad (pbuh) and the Qur'an (as though he heard them not) as though he did not understand them. (Give him) O Muhammad (tidings of a painful doom) and so he was killed in captivity on the Day of Badr.
