53(All this is allowed to be done) so that He may make what Satan casts a trial for those in whose hearts there is a disease, and whose hearts are hard;-and surely the wrongdoers are in the utmost antagonism- 54and so that those who have been given knowledge may know that it (i.e. the revelation recited by the prophet) is the truth from your Lord, and they may believe in it and their hearts may become humble towards it. Allah is the Guide of the believers to the straight path.

Commentary

And those in whose hearts is a disease are the hypocrites and the doubters, and the hearts of the polytheists are hard. The deniers, and indeed the wrongdoers means: and indeed these hypocrites and polytheists. Its origin is: and indeed they, so the apparent is placed in the position of the pronoun as a judgment upon them for their wrongdoing. That it is the truth from your Lord, meaning so that they may know that the empowerment of Satan to cast is the truth from your Lord and the wisdom. And indeed Allah guides those who believe to interpret what is ambiguous in the religion with correct interpretations, and seeks for what is unclear among it the understanding that is required by the established principles and the clear laws, so that confusion does not befall them nor doubts overtake them nor do their feet slip. And it was read: 'to guide those who believe,' with the tanween.
