  And what excuse will the one who casts the two revelations behind his back have on a day when excuses will not benefit the wrongdoers?

  نَبَذَ — cast aside. A past-tense verb, 'cast aside / flung away', with an unspoken 'he' subject supplied by the relative word before it. It heads the clause picturing the man's rejection of revelation, an act of deliberate discarding that the idiom 'behind his back' completes.
