The Holy Quran 5:80 — Surah Al-Ma'idah

Arabic text

تَرَىٰ كَثِيرًا مِّنْهُمْ يَتَوَلَّوْنَ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ ۚ لَبِئْسَ مَا قَدَّمَتْ لَهُمْ أَنفُسُهُمْ أَن سَخِطَ ٱللَّهُ عَلَيْهِمْ وَفِى ٱلْعَذَابِ هُمْ خَـٰلِدُونَ

Translation

You will see many of them befriend the Kuffaar (the Mushrikeen and other people opposed to Islaam). Evil indeed is that (sin and false beliefs) which their souls send ahead (to the Aakhirah) for them; (it is because of this) that Allaah became angry with them and they shall remain in punishment forever.

Tafsir (excerpt) — Tafsir Usmani

By the disbelievers are meant the idolaters, and these verses applied to the Jews of Madinah, who had conspired with the idolaters of Makkah and resolved to make war on the Muslims. That is, the store of deeds they are sending ahead for the Hereafter before death is such that it makes them deserving of divine wrath and everlasting punishment.
