Commentary (Tafsir Ibn Kathir)

The Messengers ﷺ Will be Asked About Their NationsAllah states that on the Day of Resurrection, He will ask the Messengers about how their nations, to whom He sent them, answered and responded to their teachings. Allah said in other Ayat,فَلَنَسْـَلَنَّ الَّذِينَ أُرْسِلَ إِلَيْهِمْ وَلَنَسْـَلَنَّ الْمُرْسَلِينَ(Then surely, We shall question those (people) to whom it (the Book) was sent and verily, We shall question the Messengers.
