Simplified Tafsir
ما كان ينبغي للنبي محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم والذين آمنوا أن يدعوا بالمغفرة للمشركين، ولو كانوا ذوي قرابة لهم مِن بعد ما ماتوا على شركهم بالله وعبادة الأوثان، وتبين لهم أنهم أصحاب الجحيم لموتهم على الشرك، والله لا يغفر للمشركين، كما قال تعالى: {إِنَّ اللَّهَ لا يَغْفِرُ أَنْ يُشْرَكَ بِهِ (4:48)} وكما قال سبحانه: {إِنَّهُ مَنْ يُشْرِكْ بِاللَّهِ فَقَدْ حَرَّمَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ الْجَنَّةَ (5:72)}.
