Commentary
There is no more to add. The meaning is what prevented you from following me in anger for Allah and in strong admonition against disbelief and sins? Why did you not fight those who disbelieved in the one who believed? And why did you not engage in the matter as you were the father of its evil if I had been a witness? Or why did you not join me?
