His word أُولَئِكَ الَّذِينَ لَهُمْ سُوءُ الْعَذَابِ ('these are the ones for whom the worst punishment is destined'): Allah, exalted is His remembrance, says: these who do not believe in the Hereafter, for them is the worst punishment in the world — and they are those who were killed at Badr from among the polytheists (mushrikīn) of Quraysh.
He says: and they, on the Day of Resurrection, are those whose merchandise is the most loss-making and the least in worth, because they purchased error in place of right guidance — فَمَا رَبِحَتْ تِجَارَتُهُمْ وَمَا كَانُوا مُهْتَدِينَ ('so their trade brought no profit and they were not rightly guided').
