Exegesis of {Whoever desires the life of this world and its adornment...}

Question:
The verse is in Surat Hud...?
Answer:
This is for the disbelievers. The well-known view among scholars is that it refers to the disbelievers. It has also been said that it encompasses those who show off in their deeds, for their deeds are nullified. However, the well-known view is that it was revealed regarding the disbelievers. Nevertheless, its generality necessitates caution, because He said: [Hud: 16]. This applies only to the disbelievers: [Al-An'am: 88]. However, it may encompass the show-off in what he showed off, for what he showed off is invalidated and nullified. We ask Allah for well-being.

And lost is what they did therein, and worthless is what they used to do.
وَحَبِطَ مَا صَنَعُوا فِيهَا وَبَاطِلٌ مَا كَانُوا يَعْمَلُونَBut if they had associated others with Allah, then worthless for them would be whatever they were doing.
وَلَوْ أَشْرَكُوا لَحَبِطَ عَنْهُمْ مَا كَانُوا يَعْمَلُونَ
