اِسْتَغْفِرْ لَهُمْ اَوْ لَا تَسْتَغْفِرْ لَهُمْؕ-اِنْ تَسْتَغْفِرْ لَهُمْ سَبْعِیْنَ مَرَّةً فَلَنْ یَّغْفِرَ اللّٰهُ لَهُمْؕ-ذٰلِكَ بِاَنَّهُمْ كَفَرُوْا بِاللّٰهِ وَ رَسُوْلِهٖؕ-وَ اللّٰهُ لَا یَهْدِی الْقَوْمَ الْفٰسِقِیْنَ۠ (80)

Kanz-ul-Irfan

˹Dear Beloved Prophet,˺ seek forgiveness for them or do not seek forgiveness for them; even if you seek forgiveness for them seventy times, Allah will never forgive them. This is because they disbelieved in Allah and His Messenger;[1] and Allah does not guide the evildoers.[2]

Commentary

[1]

This verse expresses the reason why hypocrites are not forgiven which is their denial of Allah and His Messenger صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم; those who express such a denial will not be forgiven by Allah even if they receive a supplication due to the general mercy of the Beloved Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم. Not forgiving the hypocrites highlights the honour of the Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم that one who denies him cannot enter Paradise; a disbeliever does not benefit from a supplication of forgiveness.

[2]

This means that those who have left faith, as long as they adopt disbelief, shall not be granted guidance by Allah Almighty.
