Surah Hajj ayat 3 Tafsir Quran 22:3

﴿وَمِنَ النَّاسِ مَن يُجَادِلُ فِي اللَّهِ بِغَيْرِ عِلْمٍ وَيَتَّبِعُ كُلَّ شَيْطَانٍ مَّرِيدٍ﴾
[ الحج: 3]

22:3 And of the people is he who disputes about Allah without knowledge and follows every rebellious devil.

The following was revealed regarding al-Nadr b. al-Hārith and his companions And among mankind are those who dispute about God without any knowledge — they would say ‘The angels are God’s daughters and the Qur’ān a collection of the fables of the ancients’. In addition they would deny resurrection and the bringing back to life of those who had become dust — and those who follow in their manner of disputing every rebellious devil

Yet among the people is he who argues about Allah in ignorance and by want of thought and follows every disobedient devil and follows those with characteristics befitting AL-Shaytan (Satan) who is evil personified

Condemnation of the Followers of the Shaytan Allah condemns those who deny the Resurrection and who deny that Allah is able to restore life to the dead, those who turn away from that which Allah has revealed to His Prophets and, in their views -- denial and disbelief -- follow every rebellious Shaytan among men and Jinn.
This is the state of the followers of innovation and misguidance, who turn away from the truth and follow falsehood, following the words of the leaders of misguidance who call people to follow innovation and their own desires and opinions.
Allah says concerning them and their like, وَمِنَ النَّاسِ مَن يُجَـدِلُ فِى اللَّهِ بِغَيْرِ عِلْمٍ ( And among mankind is he who disputes about Allah, without knowledge, ) meaning, without sound knowledge. وَيَتَّبِعُ كُلَّ شَيْطَـنٍ مَّرِيدٍكُتِبَ عَلَيْهِ ( and follows every rebellious Shaytan.
For him it is decreed. ) Mujahid said, "This refers to that Shaytan." meaning that is a matter written in the decree. أَنَّهُ مَن تَوَلاَّهُ ( that whosoever follows him, ) and imitates him, فَأَنَّهُ يُضِلُّهُ وَيَهْدِيهِ إِلَى عَذَابِ السَّعِيرِ ( he will mislead him, and will drive him to the torment of the Fire. ) means, he will mislead him in this world, and in the Hereafter he will drive him to the torment of the Fire, which is unbearably hot, painful and agonizing.
As-Suddi reported that Abu Malik said, "This Ayah was revealed about An-Nadr bin Al-Harith.
This was also the view of Ibn Jurayj.

And of the people is he who meaning

*4) They do not indulge in discussions or disputes about the Being or existence of Allah but about His rights and powers and His Revelations, as is evident from the succeeding passage.
