Commentary (Tafsir Ibn Kathir)

A Warning to Those Who dispute concerning Matters of ReligionHere Allah warns those who try to hinder those who believe in Allah, from following His path.وَالَّذِينَ يُحَآجُّونَ فِى اللَّهِ مِن بَعْدِ مَا اسَتُجِيبَ لَهُ(And those who dispute concerning Allah, after it has been accepted,) means, those who dispute with the believers who have responded to Allah and His Messenger, and try to stop them from following the path of guidance.
