Commentary (Tafsir Ibn Kathir)

The Prophet was sent to all of Mankind Allah says to His servant and Messenger Muhammad ﷺ:وَمَآ أَرْسَلْنَـكَ إِلاَّ كَآفَّةً لِّلنَّاسِ بَشِيراً وَنَذِيراً(And We have not sent you except as a giver of glad tidings and a warner to all mankind,) i.e., to all of creation among those who are accountable for their deeds. This is like the Ayah:قُلْ يَأَيُّهَا النَّاسُ إِنِّى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ إِلَيْكُمْ جَمِيعًا(Say: "O mankind! Verily, I am sent to you all as the Messenger of Allah.
