Surah Mulk ayat 9 Tafsir Quran 67:9

﴿قَالُوا بَلَىٰ قَدْ جَاءَنَا نَذِيرٌ فَكَذَّبْنَا وَقُلْنَا مَا نَزَّلَ اللَّهُ مِن شَيْءٍ إِنْ أَنتُمْ إِلَّا فِي ضَلَالٍ كَبِيرٍ﴾
[ الملك: 9]

67:9 They will say," Yes, a warner had come to us, but we denied and said, 'Allah has not sent down anything. You are not but in great error.'"

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.

Yes indeed, they will say, we had received a man who was a spectacle and a warning to us all, but we declared everything stated to be untrue. We refused to admit that Allah had ever sent down any divinely inspired message, and we thought that in their counsel there remained evident falsehood

The Description of Hell and Those Who will enter into it Allah the Exalted says, وَ ( and ) meaning, `and We have prepared,' لِلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْبِرَبِّهِمْ عَذَابُ جَهَنَّمَ وَبِئْسَ الْمَصِيرُ ( for those who disbelieve in their Lord is the torment of Hell, and worst indeed is that destination. ) This means that this will be the worst end and a terrible destiny. إِذَآ أُلْقُواْ فِيهَا سَمِعُواْ لَهَا شَهِيقًا ( When they are cast therein, they will hear its Shahiq ) Ibn Jarir said, "This means the sound of shouting." وَهِىَ تَفُورُ ( while it is simmering. ) Ath-Thawri said, "It will boil them just as a small number of seeds are boiled in a lot of water." Then Allah says, تَكَادُ تَمَيَّزُ مِنَ الغَيْظِ ( It almost bursts up with fury. ) meaning, some parts of it almost break apart from other parts due to the severity of its rage and anger with them. تَكَادُ تَمَيَّزُ مِنَ الغَيْظِ كُلَّمَا أُلْقِىَ فِيهَا فَوْجٌ سَأَلَهُمْ خَزَنَتُهَآ أَلَمْ يَأْتِكُمْ نَذِيرٌ - قَالُواْ بَلَى قَدْ جَآءَنَا نَذِيرٌ فَكَذَّبْنَا وَقُلْنَا مَا نَزَّلَ اللَّهُ مِن شَىْءٍ إِنْ أَنتُمْ إِلاَّ فِى ضَلَـلٍ كَبِيرٍ ( Every time a group is cast therein, its keepers will ask: "Did no warner come to you" They will say: "Yes, indeed a warner did come to us, but we rejected him and said: `Allah never sent down anything; you are only in great error."' ) In these Ayat Allah reminds of His justice in dealing with His creatures and that He does not punish anyone until the proof has been established against them and a Messenger has been sent to them.
This is similar to Allah's statement, وَمَا كُنَّا مُعَذِّبِينَ حَتَّى نَبْعَثَ رَسُولاً ( And We never punish until We have sent a Messenger. ) 17:15 Allah also says, حَتَّى إِذَا جَآءُوهَا فُتِحَتْ أَبْوَبُهَا وَقَالَ لَهُمْ خَزَنَتُهَآ أَلَمْ يَأْتِكُمْ رُسُلٌ مِّنكُمْ يَتْلُونَ عَلَيْكُمْ ءَايَـتِ رَبِّكُمْ وَيُنذِرُونَكُمْ لِقَـآءَ يَوْمِكُمْ هَـذَا قَالُواْ بَلَى وَلَـكِنْ حَقَّتْ كَلِمَةُ الْعَذَابِ عَلَى الْكَـفِرِينَ ( till when they reach it, the gates thereof will be opened.
And its keepers will say, "Did not the Messengers come to you from yourselves, reciting to you the Ayat of your Lord, and warning you of the meeting of this Day of yours" They will say: "Yes," but the Word of torment has been justified against the disbelievers!" ) 39:71 Thus, they have no recourse but to blame themselves and they will feel remorseful when such remorse will be of no benefit to them.
They will say, لَوْ كُنَّا نَسْمَعُ أَوْ نَعْقِلُ مَا كُنَّا فِى أَصْحَـبِ السَّعِيرِ ( Had we but listened or used our intelligence, we would not have been among the dwellers of the blazing Fire! ) meaning, `if we would have benefited from our intellects or listened to the truth that Allah revealed, we would not have been disbelieving in Allah and misguided about Him.
But we did not have understanding to comprehend what the Messengers came with, and we did not have the intelligence to guide us to following them.' Allah then says, فَاعْتَرَفُواْ بِذَنبِهِمْ فَسُحْقًا لاًّصْحَـبِ السَّعِيرِ ( Then they will confess their sin.
So, away with the dwellers of the blazing Fire! ) Imam Ahmad recorded from Abu Al-Bakhtari At-Ta'i that he heard from one of the Companions that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said,
«لَنْ يَهْلِكَ النَّاسُ حَتْى يُعْذِرُوا مِنْ أَنْفُسِهِم»
( The people will not be destroyed until they themselves confess their guilt. )

(67:9) They will say: 'Yes, a warner came to us, but we gave the lie to him and said: 'Allah has revealed nothing. You are surely in huge error.' *15

They will say," Yes, a warner had meaning

*15) That is, " Not only you but the people who have believed in and followed you also are misguided and lost in grave error. "

( 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.

They will say: "Yes indeed; a warner did come to us, but we belied him and said: 'Allah never sent down anything (of revelation), you are only in great error.'"
