فَيَوْمَئِذٍ لَّا يُسْـَٔلُ عَن ذَنۢبِهِۦٓ إِنسٌ وَلَا جَآنٌّ ﴿39﴾

Translation by Dr. Muhammad Muhsin Khan & Dr. Taqi-ud-Din al-Hilali

So on that Day no question will be asked of man or jinns as to his sin, [because they have already been known from their faces either white (dwellers of Paradise - true believers of Islamic Monotheism) or black (dwellers of Hell - polytheists; disbelievers, criminals)].

Tafsir al-Quran al-Karim — Hafiz Abdus Salam Bin Muhammad Bhutvi

Tafsir al-Quran al-Karim is a 4-volume Quran commentary by Hafiz Abdus Salam bin Muhammad Bhutvi, a renowned Salafi (Ahl al-Hadith) scholar and Sheikh ul-Hadith from Pakistan. Based on over 45 years of teaching and research, this tafsir follows the methodology of Tafsir bil-Ma'thur — interpreting the Quran through authentic Hadith, statements of the Companions, and the understanding of the early generations (Salaf). It is distinguished by its complete avoidance of Israeliyyat (Judeo-Christian narratives) and unverified reports. The tafsir is originally written in Urdu, translated to English by tohed.com.

(Ayah 39) {فَيَوْمَىِٕذٍ لَّا يُسْـَٔلُ عَنْ ذَنْۢبِهٖۤ اِنْسٌ وَّ لَا جَآنٌّ:} That is, on that Day, in order to know who is guilty and what sin he has committed, there will be no need to ask any human or jinn, because all the criminals will be recognized by their mark, as is mentioned in the next verse: « يُعْرَفُ الْمُجْرِمُوْنَ بِسِيْمٰهُمْ » "The criminals will be recognized by their mark." And as stated in Surah Qasas: «وَ لَا يُسْـَٔلُ عَنْ ذُنُوْبِهِمُ الْمُجْرِمُوْنَ » [ القصص:۷۸] "And the criminals will not be questioned about their sins." Yes, for the purpose of rebuking, humiliating, and reproaching, they will certainly be questioned, as He said: « فَوَرَبِّكَ لَنَسْـَٔلَنَّهُمْ اَجْمَعِيْنَ (92) عَمَّا كَانُوْا يَعْمَلُوْنَ » [ الحجر : ۹۲،۹۳ ] "So by your Lord, We will surely question them all, about what they used to do." And He said: « وَ قِفُوْهُمْ اِنَّهُمْ مَّسْـُٔوْلُوْنَ» [ الصافات :۲۴ ] "And stop them; indeed, they are to be questioned."

Tafsir Ahsan al-Bayan — Hafiz Salahuddin Yusuf

Tafsir Ahsan al-Bayan is a well-known Quran commentary by Hafiz Salahuddin Yusuf, a renowned Salafi (Ahl al-Hadith) scholar from Pakistan. This tafsir explains the meanings of the Quran in accordance with the methodology of the Salaf (early righteous generations), relying on authentic sources and straightforward language. Due to its reliability and adherence to sound Islamic scholarship, the Saudi government publishes and distributes this tafsir among the Hujjaj (pilgrims) visiting the Haramain. The tafsir is originally written in Urdu, translated to English by tohed.com.

39. 1. That is, at the time when they will come out of the graves. Otherwise, later at the place of reckoning, they will be questioned. Some have explained its meaning as that they will not be questioned about the sins, because the complete record of those will be with the angels and also in Allah's knowledge. However, they will be asked why did you do these? Or it means, they will not be questioned, rather the human limbs themselves will speak and inform.

Tafsir Taiseer ul-Quran — Maulana Abdul Rahman Kilani

Tafsir Taiseer ul-Quran (Facilitation of the Quran) is a comprehensive Quran commentary by Maulana Abdul Rahman Kilani, a renowned Salafi (Ahl al-Hadith) scholar from Pakistan. Known for his eloquent and accessible writing style, Kilani authored this tafsir with a focus on clarity — making Quranic meanings understandable to the common reader. The tafsir provides detailed historical context for verses related to battles and expeditions, and firmly refutes modernist ideologies using strong scriptural evidence. It is widely regarded as an invaluable resource for understanding the Quran and countering deviant interpretations. The tafsir is originally written in Urdu, translated to English by tohed.com.

39. On that Day, no human or jinn will be asked about his sin [28] (whether he committed it or not).

[28] On the Day of Resurrection, there will be different kinds of treatment for the criminals at different moments. At one point, they will be properly questioned, as Allah says: ﴿فَوَرَبِّكَ لَنَسْــَٔـلَنَّهُمْ اَجْمَعِيْنَ﴾ [92:15]. And there will also come a time when the criminals will deny their sins. At that time, Allah Almighty will not ask them, but rather will seal their tongues and command their hands, feet, and skins to speak. They will describe the imprints left upon them during the commission of those crimes. In this way, testimony will be established against them.
