﴿ إِنَّآ أَرْسَلْنَٰكَ بِٱلْحَقِّ بَشِيرًۭا وَنَذِيرًۭا ۖ وَلَا تُسْـَٔلُ عَنْ أَصْحَٰبِ ٱلْجَحِيمِ ﴾

“Verily, We have sent thee [O Prophet] with the truth, as a bearer of glad tidings and a warner: and thou shalt not be held accountable for those who are destined for the blazing fire.”

(� And thou wilt not be asked about the owners of hell-fire) [2:119]. Said Ibn �Abbas: �One day, the Messenger of Allah, Allah bless him and give him peace, said: �Would that I knew what became of my parents!� And this verse was revealed as an answer�. This however applies only in the case when the verb in the above verse is read in the apocopate form. And Muqatil said: �The Prophet, Allah bless him and give him peace, said: �The Jews would have believed if Allah had sent His harm upon them�. Allah, exalted is He, revealed in response (And thou wilt not be asked about the owners of hell-fire)�.
