يَـٰمَعْشَرَ ٱلْجِنِّ وَٱلْإِنسِ أَلَمْ يَأْتِكُمْ رُسُلٌ مِّنكُمْ يَقُصُّونَ عَلَيْكُمْ ءَايَـٰتِى وَيُنذِرُونَكُمْ لِقَآءَ يَوْمِكُمْ هَـٰذَا‌ۚ قَالُواْ شَهِدْنَا عَلَىٰٓ أَنفُسِنَا‌ۖ وَغَرَّتْهُمُ ٱلْحَيَوٲةُ ٱلدُّنْيَا وَشَهِدُواْ عَلَىٰٓ أَنفُسِهِمْ أَنَّهُمْ كَانُواْ كَـٰفِرِينَ

"O company of jinn and mankind, did there not come to you messengers from among you, relating to you My verses and warning you of the meeting of this Day of yours?" They will say, "We bear witness against ourselves"; and the worldly life had deluded them, and they will bear witness against themselves that they were disbelievers.

Wahai golongan jin dan manusia! Bukankah sudah datang kepadamu Rasul-rasul dari kalanganmu sendiri, mereka menyampaikan ayat-ayat-Ku kepadamu dan memperingat­kanmu tentang pertemuan pada hari ini? Mereka menjawab, "(Ya), kami menjadi saksi atas diri kami sendiri." Tetapi mereka tertipu oleh kehidupan dunia dan mereka telah menjadi saksi atas diri mereka sendiri, bahwa mereka adalah orang-orang kafir.

Tafsir

Ibn Kathir (Abridged)

Chastising the Jinns and Humans after their Admission that Allah Sent Messengers to Them

Allah will chastise the disbelieving Jinns and humans on the Day of Resurrection, when He asks them, while having better knowledge, if the Messengers delivered His Messages to them,

يَـمَعْشَرَ الْجِنِّ وَالإِنْسِ أَلَمْ يَأْتِكُمْ رُسُلٌ مِّنْكُمْ

("O you assembly of Jinn and humans! Did not there come to you Messengers from among you") We should note here that the Messengers are from among mankind only, not vice versa, as Mujahid, Ibn Jurayj and others from the Imams of Salaf and later generations have stated. The proof for this is that Allah said,

إِنَّآ أَوْحَيْنَآ إِلَيْكَ كَمَآ أَوْحَيْنَآ إِلَى نُوحٍ وَالنَّبِيِّينَ مِن بَعْدِهِ

(Verily, We have sent the revelation to you as We sent the revelation to Nuh and the Prophets after him.) 4:163, until,

رُّسُلاً مُّبَشِّرِينَ وَمُنذِرِينَ لِئَلاَّ يَكُونَ لِلنَّاسِ عَلَى اللَّهِ حُجَّةٌ بَعْدَ الرُّسُلِ

(Messengers as bearers of good news as well as of warning in order that mankind should have no plea against Allah after the (coming of) Messengers.) 4:165 Allah said, concerning the Prophet Ibrahim,

وَجَعَلْنَا فِى ذُرِّيَّتِهِ النُّبُوَّةَ وَالْكِتَـبَ

(And We ordained among his offspring prophethood and the Book) 29: 27, thus sending the prophethood and the Book exclusively through the offspring of the Prophet Ibrahim. No one has claimed that there were Prophets from among the Jinns before the time of Ibrahim, but not after that. Allah said,

وَمَآ أَرْسَلْنَا قَبْلَكَ مِنَ الْمُرْسَلِينَ إِلاَّ إِنَّهُمْ لَيَأْكُلُونَ الطَّعَامَ وَيَمْشُونَ فِى الاٌّسْوَاقِ

(And We never sent before you any of the Messengers but verily, they ate food and walked in the markets.) 25:20, and,

وَمَآ أَرْسَلْنَا مِن قَبْلِكَ إِلاَّ رِجَالاً نُّوحِى إِلَيْهِمْ مِّنْ أَهْلِ الْقُرَى

(And We sent not before you any but men unto whom We revealed, from among the people of townships.) 12:109 Therefore, concerning prophethood, the Jinns follow mankind in this regard and this is why Allah said about them,

وَإِذْ صَرَفْنَآ إِلَيْكَ نَفَراً مِّنَ الْجِنِّ يَسْتَمِعُونَ الْقُرْءَانَ فَلَمَّا حَضَرُوهُ قَالُواْ أَنصِتُواْ فَلَمَّا قُضِىَ وَلَّوْاْ إِلَى قَوْمِهِم مُّنذِرِينَ - قَالُواْ يقَوْمَنَآ إِنَّا سَمِعْنَا كِتَـباً أُنزِلَ مِن بَعْدِ مُوسَى مُصَدِّقاً لِّمَا بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ يَهْدِى إِلَى الْحَقِّ وَإِلَى طَرِيقٍ مُّسْتَقِيمٍ - يقَوْمَنَآ أَجِيبُواْ دَاعِىَ اللَّهِ وَءَامِنُواْ بِهِ يَغْفِرْ لَكُمْ مِّن ذُنُوبِكُمْ وَيُجِرْكُمْ مِّنْ عَذَابٍ أَلِيمٍ - وَمَن لاَّ يُجِبْ دَاعِىَ اللَّهِ فَلَيْسَ بِمُعْجِزٍ فِى الاٌّرْضَ وَلَيْسَ لَهُ مِن دُونِهِ أَوْلِيَآءُ أُوْلَـئِكَ فِى ضَلَـلٍ مُّبِينٍ

(And (remember) when We sent towards you a group of the Jinn, listening to the Qur'an. When they stood in the presence thereof, they said: "Listen in silence!" And when it was finished, they returned to their people, as warners. They said: "O our people! Verily, we have heard a Book sent down after Musa, confirming what came before it, it guides to the truth and to the straight way. O our people! Respond to Allah's caller, and believe in him. He (Allah) will forgive you your sins, and will save you from a painful torment (i.e. Hell-fire). And whosoever does not respond to Allah's caller, he cannot escape on earth, and there will be no helpers for him besides Allah. Those are in manifest error.) 46:29-32 A Hadith collected by At-Tirmidhi stated that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ recited Surat Ar-Rahman, to these Jinns, in which Allah said,

سَنَفْرُغُ لَكُمْ أَيُّهَا الثَّقَلاَنِ فَبِأَىِّ ءَالاءِ رَبِّكُمَا تُكَذِّبَانِ

(We shall attend to you, O you two classes (Jinn and men)! Then which of the blessings of your Lord will you both (Jinn and men) deny) 55:31-32 Allah said in this honorable Ayah,

يَـمَعْشَرَ الْجِنِّ وَالإِنْسِ أَلَمْ يَأْتِكُمْ رُسُلٌ مِّنْكُمْ يَقُصُّونَ عَلَيْكُمْ آيَـتِي وَيُنذِرُونَكُمْ لِقَآءَ يَوْمِكُمْ هَـذَا قَالُواْ شَهِدْنَا عَلَى أَنْفُسِنَا

(O you assembly of Jinn and humans! "Did not there come to you Messengers from amongst you, reciting unto you My verses and warning you of the meeting of this Day of yours" They will say: "We bear witness against ourselves.") meaning, we affirm that the Messengers ﷺ have conveyed Your Messages to us and warned us about the meeting with You, and that this Day will certainly occur. Allah said next,

وَغَرَّتْهُمُ الْحَيَوةُ الدُّنْيَا

(It was the life of this world that deceived them.) and they wasted their lives and brought destruction to themselves by rejecting the Messengers ﷺ and denying their miracles. This is because they were deceived by the beauty, adornment and lusts of this life.

وَشَهِدُواْ عَلَى أَنفُسِهِمْ

(And they will bear witness against themselves) on the Day of Resurrection,

أَنَّهُمْ كَانُواْ كَـفِرِينَ

(that they were disbelievers...) in this worldly life, rejecting what the Messengers, may Allah's peace and blessings be on them, brought them.

Tafsir Kemenag RI

Di akhirat nanti, kepada semua jin dan manusia yang durhaka, yang tidak mengikuti ajaran rasul dan tidak mengindahkan larangan Allah yang disampaikan rasul kepada mereka sehingga mereka berbuat sewenang-wenang di bumi, akan dikemukakan kepadanya pertanyaan, "Apakah tidak datang kepadamu rasul-rasul Kami, memperingatkan kamu dan memberi petunjuk yang benar agar kamu tidak tersesat dan tidak melakukan perbuatan-perbuatan yang bertentangan dengan ajaran Kami? Mereka tidak berdaya menjawabnya, dan mereka menyesali segala yang mereka perbuat semasa di dunia, dan dengan menundukkan kepala mereka mengakui kesalahan-kesalahan mereka seraya menjawab, "Kami mengakui bahwa Rasul Allah telah datang kepada kami dan telah memberikan peringatan dan ajaran-ajaran yang baik yang seharusnya kami perhatikan dan kami ikuti dengan patuh dan taat, tetapi kami tidak mengindahkannya, bahkan kami mendustakan mereka dan memperolok-olok seruan mereka."

Allah berfirman:

Mereka menjawab, "Benar, sungguh, seorang pemberi peringatan telah datang kepada kami, tetapi kami mendustakan(nya) dan kami katakan, "Allah tidak menurunkan sesuatu apa pun, kamu sebenarnya di dalam kesesatan yang besar." (al-Mulk/67: 9)

Mereka telah ditipu dan diperdaya oleh kehidupan dunia dan mereka silau oleh harta, wanita, pangkat dan kedudukan, sehingga hati mereka menjadi beku, mata mereka menjadi buta, tidak dapat lagi membedakan mana yang baik, dan mana yang buruk. Mereka tidak dapat lagi melihat cahaya ajaran Ilahi yang akan membawa mereka kepada kebahagiaan dunia dan akhirat. Para rasul itu telah membacakan kepada mereka ayat-ayat yang diturunkan Allah dan telah memperingatkan mereka bahwa di akhirat nanti akan ada hari pembalasan di mana orang-orang yang berbuat baik akan masuk surga dan orang-orang yang ingkar akan disiksa dalam neraka. Di kala itulah mereka mengaku terus terang bahwa mereka dahulu (di dunia) memang ingkar dan kafir, mendustakan rasul-rasul dan tidak percaya dengan adanya hari akhirat.

Mengenai rasul-rasul yang diutus itu, apakah mereka terdiri dari manusia ataukah ada pula rasul-rasul dari jin yang diutus kepada umatnya? Jumhur ulama berpendapat bahwa rasul-rasul itu semuanya terdiri dari manusia, tetapi bertugas untuk menyampaikan dakwah kepada jin dan manusia, tidak ada rasul-rasul dari kalangan jin. Al-Qur'an dan hadis-hadis sahih menunjukkan bahwa Nabi Muhammad juga diutus kepada jin seperti tersebut dalam ayat berikut:

Dan (ingatlah) ketika Kami hadapkan kepadamu (Muhammad) serombongan jin yang mendengarkan (bacaan) Al-Qur'an, maka ketika mereka menghadiri (pembacaan)nya mereka berkata, "Diamlah kamu (untuk mendengarkannya)!" Maka ketika telah selesai mereka kembali kepada kaumnya (untuk) memberi peringatan. Mereka berkata, "Wahai kaum kami! Sungguh, kami telah mendengarkan Kitab (Al-Qur'an) yang diturunkan setelah Musa, membenarkan (kitab-kitab) yang datang sebelumnya, membimbing kepada kebenaran dan kepada jalan yang lurus." (al-Ahqaf/46: 29-30)
