The people described as sharrul-bariyyah in Sūratul-Bayyinah are the Ahlul-kitāb and mushrikūn. The term "sharrul-bariyyah" is mentioned in verse 98:6 of the Quran, where it refers to a group of people who are the worst of creatures. The term "bariyyah" refers to all creatures created by Allah, so "sharrul-bariyyah" means the worst of all created beings. In the context of Suratul-Bayyinah, the people described as sharrul-bariyyah are those who received clear evidence of the truth of Islam but rejected it. This refers to the Ahlul-kitāb (People of the Book) who had received earlier revelations from Allah, such as Jews and Christians, and the mushrikūn (polytheists) who worshipped idols and multiple deities. So, the people referred to as sharrul-bariyyah in Sūratul-Bayyinah are those who, despite receiving clear evidence and guidance, chose to reject the truth and follow their own desires, thereby earning the condemnation of Allah.
