Transliteration:( Innaa arsalnaaka bil haqqi basheeranw wa nazeeraa; wa im min ummatin illaa khalaa feehaa nazeer )
71. Giver of glad tidings of reward to the pious, Warner of punishment to the evildoers. Here, glad tidings do not denote the glad tidings of the Holy Prophet, because that is done with verification.
72. It is stated in Bukhari Shareef that Prophets restriction.are from an elevated family. Other families are subservient to them. Thus, the verse does not mean that a Prophet has been from people of differing social status. Here, the word 'warner is used in the general sense, which includes Prophet, a leamed person, a lecturer, etc

Please refer to Surah Fatir ayat 19 which provides the complete commentary from verse 19 through 26.
45. That there has been no community in the world for whose guidance Allah did not appoint the Prophets. This has been stated at several places in the Quran. In (Surah Ar-Raad, Ayat 7), it was said: “Every people has its guide”. In (Surah Al-Hijr, Ayat 10): “O Prophet, We have already sent Messengers before you among many of the ancient peoples”. In (Surah An-Nahl, Ayat 36): “We sent to every community a Messenger” and in (Surah Ash-Shuara, Ayat: 208): “We have never destroyed a habitation unless it had its warners to administer admonition”. But, in this connection, one should note two things so that there remains no misunderstanding. First, one and the same Prophet is enough for the lands to which his message may reach. It is not necessary that Prophets be sent to every separate habitation and to every separate community. Second, no new Prophet needs to be sent as long as the message and teaching and guidance given by a previous Prophet remains safe and intact. It is not necessary that a separate Prophet be sent for every race and every generation.
