[Hell] [Inhabitant] [News] [Warner] [Warning]
English - Dr. Mustafa Khattab, The Clear Quran
We have surely sent you with the truth ˹O Prophet˺ as a deliverer of good news and a warner. And you will not be accountable for the residents of the Hellfire.
Malay - Abdullah Muhammad Basmeih
Sesungguhnya Kami telah mengutuskan engkau (wahai Muhammad) dengan kebenaran, (serta menjadi) pembawa khabar gembira (kepada orang-orang yang beriman) dan pembawa amaran (kepada orang-orang yang ingkar). Dan (setelah engkau sampaikan semuanya itu), engkau tidak akan diminta (bertanggungjawab) tentang ahli neraka.

See the footnote of (V.3:85).
Sura 3 Ayah 85 note:
a) It is obligatory to have belief in the Messengership of the Prophet (Muhammad ). Narrated Abu Hurairah [radhi-yAllahu 'anhu]: Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said: "By Him (Allah) in Whose Hand Muhammad's soul is, there is none from amongst the Jews and the Christians (of these present nations) who hears about me and then dies without believing in the Message with which I have been sent (i.e. Islamic Monotheism), but he will be from the dwellers of the (Hell) Fire." [Sahih Muslim, the Book of Faith, Vol.1, Hadith No. 240 (153) (S.S.M. 20)]. [See also (V.3:116)]
b) The asking of (angel) Jibrail (Gabriel) from the Prophet (ﷺ) about Belief, Islam, Ihsan (perfection) and the knowledge of the Hour (Doomsday), and their explanation given to him by the Prophet . Then the Prophet (ﷺ) said (to his Companions): "Jibrail (Gabriel) ['alayhis-salam] came to teach you your religion." So the Prophet (ﷺ) regarded all that as a religion. And all that which the Prophet (ﷺ) explained to the delegation of 'Abdul-Qais was a part of Faith. (See Sahih Al-Bukhari, Hadith No. 50 and 87) And the Statement of Allah [Subhanahu wa Ta'ala]: "And whoever seeks a religion other than Islam, it will never be accepted of him." (V.3:85).
Narrated Abu Hurairah [radhi-yAllahu 'anhu]: One day while the Prophet (ﷺ) was sitting in the company of some people, a man came and asked, "What is Faith?" Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) replied, "Faith is to believe in Allah, His angels, (the) Meeting with Him, His Messengers, and to believe in Resurrection."* Then he further asked, "What is Islam?" Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) replied, "To worship Allah Alone and none else, to perform As-Salat (the prayers), to give the Zakat (obligatory charity) and to observe Saum (fasts) during the month of Ramadan,"** then he further asked, "What is Ihsan (perfection)?" Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) replied, "To worship Allah [Subhanahu wa Ta'ala] as if you see Him, and if you cannot achieve this state of devotion then you must consider that He is looking at you." Then he further asked, "When will the Hour be established?" Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) replied, "The answerer has no better knowledge than the questioner. But I will inform you about its portents:
(1) When a slave (lady) gives birth to her master.
(2) When the shepherds of black camels start boasting and competing with others in the construction of higher buildings. And the Hour is one of the five things which nobody knows except Allah."
The Prophet (ﷺ) then recited: "Verily, the knowledge of the Hour is with Allah (Alone)." (31:34). Then that man left and the Prophet (ﷺ) asked his Companions to call him back, but they could not see him. Then the Prophet (ﷺ) said, "That was (angel) Jibrail (Gabriel) ['alayhis-salam] who came to teach the people their religion."
Abu 'Abdullah [radhi-yAllahu 'anhu] said: He (the Prophet (ﷺ) ) considered all that as a part of Faith. [Sahih Al-Bukhari, 1/50 (O.P.47)].
* In this Hadith, only 4 articles are mentioned, while in another Hadith, 6 articles are mentioned: (i) Allah, (ii) His Angels, (iii) His Books (the Torah, the Gospel, the Qur'an and all the other Holy Books revealed by Allah), (iv) His Messengers, (v) Day of Resurrection and (vi) Al-Qadar (Divine Preordainments), i.e. whatever Allah has ordained, must come to pass.
** Again the principles of Islam mentioned here are 4, but in other narrations, they are 5 -- 5th is the pilgrimage (Hajj) to Makkah for the one who can afford it once in a lifetime.
English - Ibn Kathir
Allah says;
إِنَّا أَرْسَلْنَاكَ بِالْحَقِّ بَشِيرًا وَنَذِيرًا
Verily, We have sent you (O Muhammad) with the truth (Islam), a bringer of glad tidings (for those who believe in what you brought, that they will enter Paradise) and a warner (for those who disbelieve in what you brought, that they will enter the Hellfire).
Allah's statement;
وَلَا تُسْأَلُ عَنْ أَصْحَابِ الْجَحِيمِ
And you will not be asked about the dwellers of the blazing Fire.
means, "We shall not ask you about the disbelief of those who rejected you."
Similarly, Allah said,
فَإِنَّمَا عَلَيْكَ الْبَلَـغُ وَعَلَيْنَا الْحِسَابُ
Your duty is only to convey (the Message) and on Us is the reckoning. (13:40)
فَذَكِّرْ إِنَّمَأ أَنتَ مُذَكِّرٌ لَّسْتَ عَلَيْهِم بِمُسَيْطِرٍ
So remind them (O Muhammad) ـ you are only one who reminds. You are not a dictator over them. (88:21-22)
and,
نَّحْنُ أَعْلَمُ بِمَا يَقُولُونَ وَمَأ أَنتَ عَلَيْهِمْ بِجَبَّارٍ فَذَكِّرْ بِالْقُرْءَانِ مَن يَخَافُ وَعِيدِ
We know best what they say. And you (O Muhammad) are not the one to force them (to belief). But warn by the Qur'an; him who fears My threat. (50:45)
There are many other similar Ayat.
The Description of the Prophet in the Tawrah
Imam Ahmad recorded;
Ata' bin Yasar saying that he met Abdullah bin `Amr bin Al-`As and said to him, "Tell me about the description of the Messenger of Allah in the Torah."
He said, "Yes, by Allah, he is described by the Torah with the same characteristics that he is described with in the Qur'an with:
`O Prophet! We have sent you as a witness, a bringer of good news, a warner, and as safe refuge for the unlettered people. You are My servant and Messenger. I have called you the Mutawakkil (who depends and relies on Allah for each and everything). You are not harsh, nor hard, nor obnoxious in the bazaars. He does not reward the evil deed with an evil deed. Rather, he forgives and pardons. Allah will not bring his life to an end, until he straightens the wicked's religion by his hands so that the people proclaim:There is no deity worthy of worship except Allah. By his hands, Allah will open blind eyes, deaf ears and sealed hearts."'
This was recorded by Al-Bukhari only
