Translation
One day We shall raise from all Peoples a witness against them, from amongst themselves: and We shall bring thee as a witness against these (thy people): and We have sent down to thee the Book explaining all things, a Guide, a Mercy, and Glad Tidings to Muslims.
Tafsir
And, mention, the day We shall raise up from every community a witness against them from among themselves, and this will be their [that community's] prophet, and We shall bring you, O Muhammad may peace and salutation be upon him, as a witness against these, namely, your people. And We have revealed to you the Book, Al-Qur'an, as a clarification of all things, that people [might] need concerning the Law, and as a guidance, from error, and a mercy and good tidings, of the Paradise, to those who submit, [those who] affirm the Oneness [of God].
"Every Prophet will bear Witness against his Nation on the Day of Resurrection
Allah addressed His servant and Messenger Muhammad, saying:
وَيَوۡمَ نَبۡعَثُ فِي كُلِّ أُمَّةٍ شَهِيدًا عَلَيۡهِم مِّنۡ أَنفُسِهِمۡ وَجِيۡنَا بِكَ شَهِيدًا عَلَى هَـوُلاء
And on the Day when We resurrect a witness from each nation from among themselves, and We bring you (O Muhammad) as a witness against these),
meaning, your Ummah.
The Ayah means:remember that Day and its terrors, and the great honor and high position that Allah has bestowed upon you.
This is like the Ayah with which Abdullah bin Mas`ud ended when he recited to the Messenger of Allah from the beginning of Surah An-Nisa'. When he reached the Ayah:
فَكَيۡفَ إِذَا جِيۡنَا مِن كُلِّ أمَّةٍ بِشَهِيدٍ وَجِيۡنَا بِكَ عَلَى هَـوُلاءِ شَهِيداً
How (will it be) then, when We bring from each nation a witness and We bring you (O Muhammad) as a witness against these! (4:41)
the Messenger of Allah said to him:
حَسۡبُك
Enough.
Ibn Mas`ud said:
""I turned to him and ﷺ his eyes streaming with tears.""
The Qur'an explains Everything
Allah says:
وَنَزَّلۡنَا عَلَيۡكَ الۡكِتَابَ تِبۡيَانًا لِّكُلِّ شَيۡءٍ
(And We revealed the Book (the Qur'an) to you as an explanation of everything,) Ibn Mas`ud said:""﴿Allah﴾ made it clear that in this Qur'an there is complete knowledge and about everything."" The Qur'an contains all kinds of beneficial knowledge, such as reports of what happened in the past, information about what is yet to come, what is lawful and unlawful, and what people need to know about their worldly affairs, their religion, their livelihood in this world, and their destiny in the Hereafter.
وَهُدًى
a guidance,
means, for their hearts.
وَرَحۡمَةً وَبُشۡرَى لِلۡمُسۡلِمِينَ
a mercy, and good news for the Muslims.
Al-Awza`i said:
وَنَزَّلۡنَا عَلَيۡكَ الۡكِتَابَ تِبۡيَانًا لِّكُلِّ شَيۡءٍ
(And We have revealed the Book (the Qur'an) as an explanation of everything),
meaning, with the Sunnah. The is the reason why the phrase,
وَنَزَّلۡنَا عَلَيۡكَ الۡكِتَابَ
(And We have revealed the Book to you), is mentioned immediately after the phrase,
وَجِيۡنَا بِكَ شَهِيدًا عَلَى هَـوُلاء
And We shall bring you (O Muhammad) as a witness against these.
the meaning - and Allah knows best - is that the One Who obligated you to convey the Book which He revealed to you, will also ask you about that on the Day of Resurrection.
فَلَنَسۡـَلَنَّ الَّذِينَ أُرۡسِلَ إِلَيۡهِمۡ وَلَنَسۡـَلَنَّ الۡمُرۡسَلِينَ
Then We shall indeed question those (people) to whom it (the Book) was sent and We shall indeed question the Messengers. (7:6)
فَوَرَبِّكَ لَنَسۡـَلَنَّهُمۡ أَجۡمَعِينَ
عَمَّا كَانُواۡ يَعۡمَلُونَ
So by your Lord We question them all about what they did. (15:92-92)
يَوۡمَ يَجۡمَعُ اللَّهُ الرُّسُلَ فَيَقُولُ مَاذَا أُجِبۡتُمۡ قَالُواۡ لَا عِلۡمَ لَنَأ إِنَّكَ أَنتَ عَلَّـمُ الۡغُيُوبِ
On the Day when Allah gathers the Messengers together and says to them:""What was the response you received (to your Message)!""
They will say:""We have no knowledge, indeed only You are the Knower of all that is hidden."" (5:109)
And Allah says:
إِنَّ الَّذِى فَرَضَ عَلَيۡكَ الۡقُرۡءَانَ لَرَادُّكَ إِلَى مَعَادٍ
Verily, He Who obligated the Qur'an upon you (O Muhammad) will surely bring you back to the return. (28:85)
meaning, the One Who gave you the obligation of conveying the Qur'an will bring you back to Him, and your return will be on the Day of Resurrection, and He will question you about you commission of the duty He gave you.
This is one of the opinions, and it presents a good understanding of it."
