Commentary (Tafsir Ibn Kathir)

Praise for Those Who convey the MessageAllah says:الَّذِينَ يُبَلِّغُونَ رِسَالـتِ اللَّهِ(Those who convey the Message of Allah) meaning, to His creation, and fulfil that with which they have been entrusted.وَيَخْشَوْنَهُ(and fear Him,) means, they fear Him and they do not fear any besides Him, so no threats on the part of anyone can prevent them from conveying the Message of Allah.وَكَفَى بِاللَّهِ حَسِيباً(And sufficient is Allah as a Reckoner.
