Commentary
A witness between me and you that I conveyed what I was sent with to you, and that you denied and opposed. Indeed, He was with His servants, the warners, well-informed and knowledgeable of their conditions, so He will recompense them. And this is a consolation for the Messenger of Allah, blessings and peace be upon him, and a warning for the disbelievers. And 'a witness' is either a distinguishing feature or a state.
