O assembly of jinn and mankind, did not messengers (rusul) come to you from among you, that is, from among both of your number - which holds true in the case of mankind [since messengers (rusul) came from among them], or [by 'messengers (rusul)' if the jinn are meant] those messengers (rusul) among the jinn who are their warners, the ones who listen to the speech of the [human] messengers (rusul) and convey it to their kind - to recount to you My signs and to warn you of the encounter of this Day of yours?' They shall say, 'We bear witness against ourselves', that [all] this was conveyed to us. Allahu ta’ālā, exalted be He, says: And the life of this world deluded them, and so they did not believe. And they bear witness against themselves that they were disbelievers.
