Commentary (Tafsir Ibn Kathir)

The Meaning of `Disease' in this AyahAs-Suddi narrated from Abu Malik and (also) from Abu Salih, from Ibn `Abbas, and (also) Murrah Al-Hamdani from Ibn Mas`ud and other Companions that this Ayah,فِى قُلُوبِهِمْ مَّرَضٌ(In their hearts is a disease) means, `doubt', and,فَزَادَهُمُ اللَّهُ مَرَضًا(And Allah has increased their disease) also means `doubt'. Mujahid, `Ikrimah, Al-Hasan Al-Basri, Abu Al-`Aliyah, Ar-Rabi` bin Anas and Qatadah also said similarly.
