(That He may ask the loyal of their loyalty) that He may ask the conveyors of the message about their conveyance, and the loyal about their loyalty and the believers about their faith. (And He hath prepared a painful doom) whose pain extends to their hearts (for the unfaithful) for the disbelievers in Scriptures and messengers.
