أبو داود:٤٦١٩ – حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ كَثِيرٍ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا سُفْيَانُ عَنْ حُمَيْدٍ الطَّوِيلِ

عَنِ الْحَسَنِ { كَذَلِكَ نَسْلُكُهُ فِي قُلُوبِ الْمُجْرِمِينَ } قَالَ الشِّرْكُ

Collected by Qurʾān
quran:15:12 –

Thus do We insert denial into the hearts of the criminals.  

Thus We cause it to find its way, in other words, in the same way that We have caused denial to enter the hearts of those ˹individuals˺, We cause it to enter, into the hearts of the sinners, that is, the disbelievers of Mecca.
القرآن:١٥:١٢ –

كَذَٰلِكَ نَسْلُكُهُ فِي قُلُوبِ الْمُجْرِمِينَ  

{كذلك نسلكه} أي مثل إدخالنا التكذيب في قلوب أولئك ندخله {في قلوب المجرمين} أي كفار مكة.
quran:26:200 –

Thus have We inserted disbelief into the hearts of the criminals.  

So, in the same way in which We would have caused denial of it to penetrate ˹the hearts of disbelievers˺ had it been recited by a non-Arab, We have caused, denial of, it to penetrate the hearts of the criminals, the Meccan disbelievers, when Muhammad (s) recites it.
القرآن:٢٦:٢٠٠ –

كَذَٰلِكَ سَلَكْنَاهُ فِي قُلُوبِ الْمُجْرِمِينَ  

{كذلك} أي مثل إدخالنا التكذيب به بقراءة الأعجمي {سلكناه} أدخلنا التكذيب به {في قلوب المجرمين} كفار مكة بقراءة النبي.
