Commentary (Tafsir Ibn Kathir)

Allah's statement;وَلاَ تُسْـَلُ عَنْ أَصْحَـبِ الْجَحِيمِ(And you will not be asked about the dwellers of the blazing Fire.) means, "We shall not ask you about the disbelief of those who rejected you." Similarly, Allah said,فَإِنَّمَا عَلَيْكَ الْبَلَـغُ وَعَلَيْنَا الْحِسَابُ(Your duty is only to convey (the Message) and on Us is the reckoning.) (13:40)فَذَكِّرْ إِنَّمَآ أَنتَ مُذَكِّرٌ - لَّسْتَ عَلَيْهِم بِمُسَيْطِرٍ(So remind them (O Muhammad ) ـ you are only one who reminds.
