Qur'an 63:3
ذَٰلِكَ بِأَنَّهُمْ آمَنُوا ثُمَّ كَفَرُوا فَطُبِعَ عَلَىٰ قُلُوبِهِمْ فَهُمْ لَا يَفْقَهُونَ٣
That is because they believed, then disbelieved, therefore their hearts are sealed so that they understand not.

Tafsir as-Sa'di on Quran 63:3
Taysir al-Karim al-Rahman by Abd al-Rahman al-Sa'di (d. 1956), in the original Arabic.
{ ذَلِكَ } الذي زين لهم النفاق { بـ } سبب أنهم لا يثبتون على الإيمان.بل { آمَنُوا ثُمَّ كَفَرُوا فَطُبِعَ عَلَى قُلُوبِهِمْ } بحيث لا يدخلها الخير أبدًا، { فَهُمْ لَا يَفْقَهُونَ } ما ينفعهم، ولا يعون ما يعود بمصالحهم.
