Al-Ma'idah 5:109

Word by word

۞ يَوْمَ يَجْمَعُ ٱللَّهُ ٱلرُّسُلَ فَيَقُولُ مَاذَآ أُجِبْتُمْ ۖ قَالُوا۟ لَا عِلْمَ لَنَآ ۖ إِنَّكَ أَنتَ عَلَّـٰمُ ٱلْغُيُوبِ

[Be warned of] the Day when Allāh will assemble the messengers and say, "What was the response you received?" They will say, "We have no knowledge. Indeed, it is You who is Knower of the unseen" -

واذكروا -أيها الناس- يوم القيامة يوم يجمع الله الرسل عليهم السلام، فيسألهم عن جواب أممهم لهم حينما دعوهم إلى التوحيد فيجيبون: لا علم لنا، فنحن لا نعلم ما في صدور الناس، ولا ما أحدثوا بعدنا. إنك أنت عليم بكل شيء مما خفي أو ظهر.
