Thus We cause it to find its way, in other words, in the same way that We have caused denial to enter the hearts of those [individuals], We cause it to enter, into the hearts of the sinners, that is, the disbelievers of Mecca.
The Idolators of Every Nation made a Mockery of their Messengers
Allah says,
وَلَقَدۡ أَرۡسَلۡنَا مِن قَبۡلِكَ فِي شِيَعِ الَاوَّلِينَ
وَمَا يَأۡتِيهِم مِّن رَّسُولٍ إِلاَّ كَانُواۡ بِهِ يَسۡتَهۡزِوُونَ
Indeed, We sent (Messengers) before you (O Muhammad) amongst the earlier communities. And there never came a Messenger to them but that they mocked him.
Consoling His Messenger for the rejection of the disbelieving Quraysh, Allah says that He has sent Messengers before him to the nations of the past, and no Messenger came to a nation but they rejected him and mocked him.
Then He tells him that He lets disbelief enter the hearts of those sinners who are too stubborn and too arrogant to follow His guidance.
كَذَلِكَ نَسۡلُكُهُ فِي قُلُوبِ الۡمُجۡرِمِينَ
Thus We allow it to enter the hearts of the guilty.
Anas and Al-Hasan Al-Basri said that this referred to Shirk
لَا يُوۡمِنُونَ بِهِ
They would not believe in it (the Qur'an);
وَقَدۡ خَلَتۡ سُنَّةُ الَاوَّلِينَ
and already the example of the ancients has gone forth.
meaning the destruction wrought by Allah on those who rejected His Messengers, and how He saved His Prophets and their followers in this world and in the Hereafter, is well known.
