The Exalted says to His Prophet Muḥammad ﷺ: By your Lord, O Muḥammad — We shall surely question them all — those who broke the Qurʾān into pieces in the worldly life — in the Hereafter about what they did in the worldly life: about what We commanded them, and about what We sent you to them with from the verses of My Book which I sent down for them, and about what We called them to accept: namely the acknowledgment of Me, My oneness, and freedom from the idols and the graven images.
In accordance with what We have said about this, the exegetes also spoke.
