Therefore, warning, in relation to the Prophet (PBUH), is not the same as not warning. This is because one (warning) absolves him of responsibility and is a cause for the increase of his rank immediately and his happiness in the Hereafter.

However, regarding them, the warning and its absence are equal. The warning from the Prophet (PBUH) is so that he may fulfill what is incumbent upon him and attain the reward for warning, even if they do not benefit from it because ruin has been decreed for them in the eternal abode.
