Allah 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.) ﴿7:6﴾, and,
﴿فَوَرَبِّكَ لَنَسْـَلَنَّهُمْ أَجْمَعِينَ
- عَمَّا كَانُواْ يَعْمَلُونَ ﴾
(So, by your Lord, We shall certainly call all of them to account. For all that
they used to do.) ﴿15:92-93﴾. The statement of the Messengers here,
﴿لاَ عِلْمَ لَنَآ﴾
(We have no knowledge) is the result of the horror of that Day, according to Mujahid,
Al-Hasan Al-Basri and As-Suddi. `Abdur-Razzaq narrated that Ath-Thawri said that
Al-A`mash said that Mujahid said about the Ayah,
﴿يَوْمَ يَجْمَعُ اللَّهُ الرُّسُلَ
فَيَقُولُ مَاذَآ أُجِبْتُمْ﴾
(On the Day when Allah will gather the Messengers together and say to them: "What
was the response you received'') They will become afraid and reply,
﴿لاَ عِلْمَ لَنَآ﴾
(We have no knowledge. ..) Ibn Jarir and Ibn Abi Hatim also recorded this explanation.
`Ali bin Abi Talhah said that Ibn `Abbas commented on the Ayah,
﴿يَوْمَ يَجْمَعُ اللَّهُ الرُّسُلَ
فَيَقُولُ مَاذَآ أُجِبْتُمْ قَالُواْ لاَ عِلْمَ لَنَآ إِنَّكَ أَنتَ عَلَّـمُ الْغُيُوبِ
﴾
(On the Day when Allah will gather the Messengers together and say to them: "What
was the response you received (from men to your teaching)'' They will say: "We have
no knowledge, verily, only You are the Knower of all that is hidden.'') "They will
say to the Lord, Most Honored, `We have no knowledge beyond what we know, and even
that, You have more knowledge of them than us.'' This response is out of respect
before the Lord, Most Honored, and it means, we have no knowledge compared to Your
encompassing knowledge. Therefore, our knowledge only grasped the visible behavior
of these people, not the secrets of their hearts. You are the Knower of everything,
Who has encompassing knowledge of all things, and our knowledge compared to Your
knowledge is similar to not having any knowledge at all, for
﴿أَنتَ عَلَّـمُ الْغُيُوبِ﴾
(only You are the Knower of all that is hidden.)
﴿إِذْ قَالَ اللَّهُ
يعِيسَى ابْنَ مَرْيَمَ اذْكُرْ نِعْمَتِى عَلَيْكَ وَعَلَى وَلِدَتِكَ إِذْ أَيَّدتُّكَ
بِرُوحِ الْقُدُسِ تُكَلِّمُ النَّاسَ فِى الْمَهْدِ وَكَهْلاً وَإِذْ عَلَّمْتُكَ
الْكِتَـبَ وَالْحِكْمَةَ وَالتَّوْرَاةَ وَالإِنجِيلَ وَإِذْ تَخْلُقُ مِنَ الطِّينِ
كَهَيْئَةِ الطَّيْرِ بِإِذْنِى فَتَنفُخُ فِيهَا فَتَكُونُ طَيْراً بِإِذْنِى وَتُبْرِىءُ
الاٌّكْمَهَ وَالاٌّبْرَصَ بِإِذْنِى وَإِذْ تُخْرِجُ الْمَوتَى بِإِذْنِى وَإِذْ كَفَفْتُ
بَنِى إِسْرَءِيلَ عَنكَ إِذْ جِئْتَهُمْ بِالْبَيِّنَـتِ فَقَالَ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ
مِنْهُمْ إِنْ هَـذَا إِلاَّ سِحْرٌ مُّبِينٌ - وَإِذْ أَوْحَيْتُ
إِلَى الْحَوَارِيِّينَ أَنْ ءَامِنُواْ بِى وَبِرَسُولِى قَالُواْ ءَامَنَّا وَاشْهَدْ
بِأَنَّنَا مُسْلِمُونَ ﴾
(110. (Remember) when Allah will say (on the Day of Resurrection): "O `Isa, son
of Maryam! Remember My favor to you and to your mother when I supported you with
Ruh - il-Qudus ﴿Jibril﴾ so that you spoke to the people in the cradle and in maturity;
and when I taught you the Book, the Hikmah, the Tawrah and the Injil; and when you
made out of the clay, as it were, the figure of a bird, by My permission, and you
breathed into it, and it became a bird by My permission, and you healed those born
blind, and the lepers by My permission, and when you brought forth the dead by My
permission; and when I restrained the Children of Israel from you since you came
unto them with clear proofs, and the disbelievers among them said: `This is nothing
but evident magic.''') (111. "And when I Awhaytu ﴿put in the hearts of﴾ Al- Hawariyyin
to believe in Me and My Messenger, they said: `We believe. And bear witness that
we are Muslims.`)
