Commentary
He means by saying: They are the people of Mecca, whom the devil has beautified their polytheism and enmity towards Allah and His Messenger. And whoever is upon clear proof from his Lord, meaning with a proof from Him and a sign: and it is the miraculous Qur'an and other miracles, he is the Messenger of Allah, blessings and peace be upon him. And it has been read: 'Is he who is upon clear proof from his Lord.' And Allah, the Exalted, said: 'The evil of his deeds and they followed.' This is to emphasize the word 'from' and its meaning.
