Ibn Abbas Commentary

(Is he who relieth on a clear proof) and a religion (from his Lord) i.e. Muhammad (pbuh) (like those for whom the evil that they do is beautified) like him whose evil works are beautified, i.e. Abu Jahl (while they follow their own lusts) through the worship of idols?

Is he who follows a clear sign a definitive argument and proof from his Lord and these are the believers like those whose evil deeds have been adorned for them so that they see them as fair deeds and these are the disbelievers of Mecca and who follow their desires? by worshipping graven images. In other words there is no similarity between the two.
