The verse refers to the polytheists of Makkah, who would attempt to mislead those inclined towards Islam, calling the Prophet magician or poet to divert them from the truth.
Those destined to accept faith would not be misled by their false claims.
Anyone who turns away from the Prophet's message is unfortunate, as they are not receptive to the divine guidance and blessings that the Prophet brings.
The verse emphasizes that the Prophet has the key to all blessings, and it is essential for one to open themselves to his guidance.
