Commentary
When the mention of the promise and warning was completed, he followed it with 'Inform My servants' as a confirmation of what was mentioned and a strengthening of it in their souls.
And from Ibn Abbas, may Allah be pleased with him: [He is] Forgiving for whoever repents, and His punishment is for whoever does not repent. And the mention of 'And inform them' is connected to 'Inform My servants', so that they may take what is lawful from the punishment of the people of Lot as a lesson to reflect upon the anger of Allah and His vengeance upon the wrongdoers, and they may realize that His punishment is the painful punishment.
