[Pooya/Ali Commentary 47:8] As said in the commentary of verses 1 to 3 and 4 of this surah, all good deeds of the disbelievers, hypocrites and deviators are rendered null and void because they have disobeyed the commands of the Holy Prophet which amounts to disobedience to Allah. Aqa Mahdi Puya says: Verse 9 says that the good deeds of those who dislike any revelation, or even its part, are rendered null and void. Tabari has reported the following conversation between Ibn Abbas and the second caliph: "The elders of Quraysh did not like prophethood as well as caliphate to be given to the house of Hashim, so they chose their own candidate." said Umar. Ibn Abbas quoted this verse and said: "No wonder the Quran had already pointed out those who dislike the revelations from Allah. If they had chosen the man whom Allah had chosen, it would have been better for them." See commentary of verse 30.
