وَمَا مِن دَآبَّةٍۢ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ وَلَا طَٰٓئِرٍۢ يَطِيرُ بِجَنَاحَيْهِ إِلَّآ أُمَمٌ أَمْثَالُكُم ۚ مَّا فَرَّطْنَا فِى ٱلْكِتَٰبِ مِن شَىْءٍۢ ۚ ثُمَّ إِلَىٰ رَبِّهِمْ يُحْشَرُونَ
And there is no creature on [or within] the earth or bird that flies with its wings except [that they are] communities like you. We have not neglected in the Register a thing. Then unto their Lord they will be gathered.

(There is not an animal in the earth, nor a flying creature flying on two wings) between the earth and sky, (but they are peoples) creations and servants (like unto you) they resemble you in eating, copulation, understanding one another, just as you understand one another: this is a sign for you. (We have neglected nothing in the Book) We have neglected nothing that We have inscribed in the Preserved Tablet; We have mentioned everything in the Qur'an. (Then unto their Lord they) the birds and beasts (will be gathered) with all other created beings on the Day of Judgement.
Al-Jalalayn Commentary
There is no mā min min is extra animal that crawls on the earth and no bird that flies through the air with its wings but they are communities like to you in the way that its creation has been ordained together with its sustenance and affairs. We have neglected nothing min shay’ min is extra in the Book in the Preserved Tablet al-lawh al-mahfūz nothing that We have not written; then to their Lord they shall be gathered and judgement shall be passed upon them and the hornless sheep shall retaliate against the horned ram and then it will be said to them the animals ‘Be dust’.
