Tafsir jalalayn

Say, O Muhammad (s), to the people of Mecca; `My Lord would not be concerned with you (m is for negation) were it not for your supplications, to Him [when you are] in adversity, which He then removes. But, why should He be concerned with you when, you have denied, the Messenger and the Qur'n, and so that, the chastisement, will remain binding', permanently bound to you in the Hereafter, in addition to what will befall you in this world; and so on the day of Badr seventy of them were slain (the response to [the conditional] lawl, `were it not for ...' is indicated the preceding words). Meccan, except for verses 197, and from 224 to the end of the sra, [all of] which are Medinese; it consists of 227 verses, revealed after [srat] al-Wqi`a.

Tafseer Ibn Kathir

قُلْ مَا يَعْبَأُ بِكُمْ رَبِّي لَوْلَا دُعَاوُكُمْ



Say;

"My Lord pays attention to you only because of your invocation to Him..."

meaning, He would not care to pay attention to you if you did not worship Him, for He only created mankind to worship Him Alone and to glorify Him morning and evening.

His saying;

فَقَدْ كَذَّبْتُمْ

But now you have indeed denied.

"O you disbelievers."

فَسَوْفَ يَكُونُ لِزَامًا



So the torment will be yours forever.

So your denial will remain with you forever, i.e., it will lead to your punishment, doom and destruction in this world and the Hereafter.

This also refers to the day of Badr, as it was interpreted by Abdullah bin Mas`ud, Ubayy bin Ka`b, Muhammad bin Ka`b Al-Qurazi, Mujahid, Ad-Dahhak, Qatadah, As-Suddi and others.

فَسَوْفَ يَكُونُ لِزَامًا


So the torment will be yours forever.

Al-Hasan Al-Basri said;

"The Day of Resurrection."

And there is no conflict between the two interpretations.
