Allah says in surah al-Nisa': [مَن يَعْمَلْ سُوءًا يُجْزَ بِهِ] '... whoever commits a sin will be repaid for it ...' [123] al-Qurtubi mentioned the following in his tafsir of this ayah: [قوله تعالى : من يعمل سوءا يجز به السوء هاهنا الشرك ، قال الحسن : هذه الآية في الكافر ، وقرأ ' وهل يجازى إلا الكفور . وعنه أيضا من يعمل سوءا يجز به قال : ذلك لمن أراد الله هوانه ، فأما من أراد كرامته فلا ، قد ذكر الله قوما فقال : أولئك الذين نتقبل عنهم أحسن ما عملوا ونتجاوز عن سيئاتهم في أصحاب الجنة وعد الصدق الذي كانوا يوعدون .] The word 'sin' here refers to al-Shirk. al-Hasan al-Basri said, 'This ayah is talking about the disbelievers' and he then recited: [وَهَلْ نُجَازِي إِلَّا الْكَ
