Ibn Abbas reported that he is Abu Jahl bin Hisham. It was said: He repeated as the other stories were repeated. It was said: The first is regarding the followers, and this is regarding the followers. The intended meaning of knowledge is the necessary knowledge. And by guidance is meant reasoning and contemplation, because it leads to knowledge. And by the illuminating Book is meant the revelation, meaning he argues based on assumption and conjecture, not based on any of these three. The second mention of pride is an expression of arrogance and haughtiness, like turning the cheek and raising the neck. It was said: It refers to turning away from the reminder. Al-Hasan said: The second mention of pride, with the 'ayn opened, means: a barrier to his pride for the purpose of misleading, which is an explanation for the argument. It was read with the 'ya' either closed or opened. If you say: What was his purpose in his argument for misleading from the path of Allah, so how is it explained? And he was not guided either, so when he argued, did he move from guidance to misguidance? I say: Since his argument led to misguidance, it was as if that was his purpose. And since guidance was presented to him, he turned away from it and focused on arguing with falsehood, it was made as if he moved from guidance to misguidance. And his disgrace: What he suffered on the Day of Badr from humiliation and killing, and the reason for what he faced of disgrace in this world and punishment in the Hereafter is what his own hands have sent forth, and Allah's justice in punishing the wicked and rewarding the righteous.
