Commentary (Tafsir Ibn Kathir)
The Story of Dhul-Qarnayn Allah says to His Prophet ,وَيَسْـَلُونَكَ(And they ask you) O Muhammad ,عَن ذِى الْقَرْنَيْنِ(about Dhul-Qarnayn.) i.e., about his story. We have already mentioned how the disbelievers of Makkah sent word to the People of the Book and asked them for some information with which they could test the Prophet .
