Ibn Kathir: 3/356.

The reason for responding to the desperate is his sincere turn toward Allah, and his abandonment of everything else. Allah informs us of his acceptance of the invocation of those who turn sincerely to Him, even if they were disbelievers; He says, (until when you are in the ships and they sail with those on board and rejoicing in a favorable wind, then suddenly a stormy wind comes, with waves crashing into them on all sides, and they feel that there is no escape. Then they cry out to Allah with sincere devotion to Him, "If You save us from this, we will surely be among those who are grateful") [10:22]. And says, (When they board a ship, they supplicate Allah, devoting their faith sincerely to Him. But as soon as He rescues them to the land, they associate partners with Him) [29:65]. So, Allah responded to them in their distress and sincerity, despite His knowledge that they will go back to their shirk. Al-Shawkani: 4/169.
Question: What is the reason for Allah’s answer to the supplication of the desperate despite his disbelief?

Allah insures his response to the desperate, and He says so about Himself. The reason for that is the distress which induces sincerity to Him only, and abandonment of everything else. This sincerity is significant in the sight of Allah, whether it comes from a believer or a disbeliever, an obedient or a sinner. Al-Qurtubi: 16/193.
Question: Explain the outcome of the sincere supplication of Allah, the Almighty.
