فَيَوْمَئِذٍ لَّا يُسْـَٔلُ عَن ذَنۢبِهِۦٓ إِنسٌ وَلَا جَآنٌّ ﴿39﴾
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)].
فَيَوْمَئِذٍۢ fayawma-idhin Then (on) that Day
لَّا not
يُسْـَٔلُ yus'alu will be asked
عَن ʿan about
ذَنۢبِهِۦٓ dhanbihi his sin
إِنسٌۭ insun any man
وَلَا walā and not
جَآنٌّۭ jānnun any jinn

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.
