(Ayah 6) {فَلَنَسْـَٔلَنَّ۠ الَّذِيْنَ اُرْسِلَ اِلَيْهِمْ:} In the previous verse, the warning was about the punishment in this world; in this verse, the warning is about matters of the Hereafter. (Kabir) That is, We will ask people how far they accepted the invitation of Our messengers, as stated in Surah Al-Qasas, verse (65): «وَ يَوْمَ يُنَادِيْهِمْ فَيَقُوْلُ مَا ذَاۤ اَجَبْتُمُ الْمُرْسَلِيْنَ » And the Day He will call them and say, "What answer did you give to the messengers?" And He will ask the prophets whether you conveyed Our message to the people or not? And if you did, what answer did they give? As stated in Surah Al-Ma'idah, verse (109): «يَوْمَ يَجْمَعُ اللّٰهُ الرُّسُلَ فَيَقُوْلُ مَا ذَاۤ اُجِبْتُمْ» The Day Allah will gather the messengers and say, "What response were you given?" The purpose will be to rebuke and humiliate the disbelievers.
