أُولَـٰئِكَ ٱلَّذِينَ ٱشْتَرَوُاْ ٱلضَّلاَلَةَ بِٱلْهُدَىٰ وَٱلْعَذَابَ بِٱلْمَغْفِرَةِ فَمَآ أَصْبَرَهُمْ عَلَى ٱلنَّارِ
١٧٥
ذَلِكَ بِأَنَّ ٱللَّهَ نَزَّلَ ٱلْكِتَابَ بِٱلْحَقِّ وَإِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ ٱخْتَلَفُواْ فِي ٱلْكِتَابِ لَفِي شِقَاقٍ بَعِيدٍ
١٧٦
-Al-Baqarah ( البقرة )

Al Qushairi Tafsir

[2:175-6] Those are they that have bought error at the price of guidance, and chastisement at the price of pardon; what makes them so patient for the Fire? * That is because God has revealed the Book with the truth; and those that are at variance regarding the Book are in schism, far removed.
Truly those that prefer the other (ghayr) over the Unseen (ghayb), the creation (khalq) over the Real (ḥaqq), the lower self (nafs) over intimacy (uns), how hard are their hearts, how shameless what they love and seek, how cheap their worth, and how disgraceful for those who have eyes to see! That is because God has revealed the Book in truth; and made the decree and rule in it come to pass in sincerity, and brought them to that for which He prepared them, and established them on the way He has fashioned for them.
