And We did not send you except to all kāffatan is a circumstantial qualifier referring to al-nās ‘mankind’ and is made to precede li’l-nās because of the importance attached to it of mankind both as a bearer of good tidings to believers of Paradise and a warner to the disbelievers of chastisement but most people such as the disbelievers of Mecca do not know this.
Ibn Abbas Commentary
(And We have not sent thee) O Muhammad (save as a bringer of good tidings) Paradise for those who believe in Allah (and a warner) from the Fire for those who disbelieve in Him (unto all mankind) to the jinn and human beings; (but most of mankind) the people of Mecca (know not) this nor believe in it.
