Al-Jalalayn Commentary

They will say ‘Yes a warner did indeed come to us but we denied and said “God has not revealed anything; you are assuredly in great error”’ this last words may be the words of the angels spoken to the disbelievers when they are told of the denial or they may belong to the words of the disbelievers spoken to the warners.

(They say: Yea, verily, a warner) a warning messenger (came unto us; but we denied) the messengers (and said: Allah hath naught revealed) Allah has not revealed any Scripture nor has He sent any messenger to us; (ye are in naught) and we said to the messengers: you are in nothing (but a great error) ascribing partners to Allah; it is also said that the wardens of Gehenna will say to the disbelievers: when you were in the life of the world: you were in nothing but great error, i.e. idolatry.
