يَوْمَ يَجْمَعُ ٱللَّهُ ٱلرُّسُلَ فَيَقُولُ مَاذَآ أُجِبْتُمْ ۖ قَالُوا۟ لَا عِلْمَ لَنَآ ۖ إِنَّكَ أَنتَ عَلَّـٰمُ ٱلْغُيُوبِ Qur’an Al-Ma'ida (5:109)
Yawma yajmaAAu All a hu a l rrusula fayaqoolu m atha ojibtum q a loo l a AAilma lan a innaka anta AAall a mu alghuyoob i
ON THE DAY when God shall assemble all the apostles and shall ask, "What response did you receive?" - they will answer, "We have no knowledge; verily, it is Thou alone who fully knowest all the things that are beyond the reach of a created being's perception."130
  - Mohammad Asad
Mohammad Asad

Cf. verse {99} above: "No more is the Apostle bound to do than deliver the message" - for, neither can he force people to follow the right path, nor can he know what is in their hearts. (See also {4:41-42}.)

On the Day of Resurrection when Allah gathers the Rasools and asks: "What response were you given from your addressees?" They will say: "We have no knowledge, only You have all the knowledge of the unseen."
  - Muhammad Farooq-i-Azam Malik
Muhammad Farooq-i-Azam Malik
'Consider' the Day Allah will gather the messengers and say, 'What response did you receive?' They will reply, 'We have no knowledge 'compared to You'! You 'alone' are indeed the Knower of all unseen.'
  - Mustafa Khattab
Mustafa Khattab
In the day when Allah gathereth together the messengers, and saith: What was your response (from mankind)? they say: We have no knowledge. Lo! Thou, only Thou art the Knower of Things Hidden.
  - Marmaduke Pickthall

One day will Allah gather the apostles together and ask: "What was the response ye received (from men to your teaching)? They will say: "We have no knowledge: it is thou who knowest in full all that is hidden. 814
  - Abdullah Yusuf Ali
Abdullah Yusuf Ali

A scene of the Day of Reckoning is put before us in graphic words, showing the responsibility and the limitations of the Prophets of Allah, sent to preach His Message to men, with special reference to the Message of Jesus. The Messengers are sent to preach the Truth. What fantastic forms the Message takes in men's reactions to it was beyond their knowledge, at the time, and beyond their responsibility.
