1 The Virtues of Surah Al-Ma'idah; When It was Revealed Surah to ...

So, by your Lord, We shall certainly call all of
them to account. For all that they used to do.
(15:92-93)
According to Mujahid, Al-Hasan Al-Basri and As-Suddi,
The statement of the Messengers here, لاَ‏ عِلْمَ‏ لَنَا (We have
no knowledge),
is the result of the horror of that Day.
Abdur-Razzaq narrated that Ath-Thawri said that
يَوْمَ‏ يَجْمَعُ‏ Ayah, A`mash said that Mujahid said about the
(On the Day when Allah will اللّهُ‏ الر ُّسُلَ‏ فَيَقُولُ‏ مَاذَا أُجِبْتُمْ‏
gather the Messengers together and say to them: "What
was the response you received)!''
They will become afraid and reply, لاَ‏ عِلْمَ‏ لَنَا (We
have no knowledge),
Ibn Jarir and Ibn Abi Hatim also recorded this
explanation.
Ali bin Abi Talhah said that Ibn Abbas commented on the
Ayah,
"They will say to the Lord, Most Honored, `We
have no knowledge beyond what we know, and
even that, You have more knowledge of them
than us.''
This response is out of respect before the Lord, Most
Honored, and it means, we have no knowledge
compared to Your encompassing knowledge. Therefore,
our knowledge only grasped the visible behavior of these
people, not the secrets of their hearts. You are the
Knower of everything, Who has encompassing
knowledge of all things, and our knowledge compared to
Your knowledge is similar to not having any knowledge
at all, for عَلا َّمُ‏ الْغُيُوبِ‏ only‏)أَنتَ‏ You are the Knower of all
that is hidden).
