وَمَن كَفَرَ فَلَا يَحۡزُنكَ كُفۡرُهُۥٓۚ إِلَيۡنَا مَرۡجِعُهُمۡ فَنُنَبِّئُهُم بِمَا عَمِلُوٓا۟ۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ عَلِيمٌۢ بِذَاتِ ٱلصُّدُورِ

And whoever disbelieved, let not his disbelief grieve you (O Muhammad SAW),. to Us is their return, and We shall inform them what they have done. Verily, Allah is the All-Knower of what is in the breasts (of men).
English - Ibn Kathir
وَمَن كَفَرَ فَلَ يَحْزُنكَ كُفْرُهُ
And whoever disbelieves, let not his disbelief grieve you.
means, `do not grieve over them, O Muhammad, because they disbelieve in Allah and in the Message you have brought, for their return will be to Allah and He will tell them what they used to do,' i.e., He will punish them for it.
إِلَيْنَا مَرْجِعُهُمْ فَنُنَبِّيُهُم بِمَا عَمِلُوا
To Us is their return, and We shall inform them what they have done.

وَإِذۡ صَرَفۡنَآ إِلَيۡكَ نَفَرًا مِّنَ ٱلۡجِنِّ يَسۡتَمِعُونَ ٱلۡقُرۡءَانَ فَلَمَّا حَضَرُوهُ قَالُوٓاْ أَنصِتُوا۟ۖ فَلَمَّا قُضِىَ وَلَّوۡاْ إِلَىٰ قَوۡمِهِم مُّنذِرِينَ
English - Ibn Kathir
The Story of the Jinns listening to the Qur'an
Imam Ahmad recorded from Az-Zubayr that he commented on the Ayah;
وَإِذْ صَرَفْنَا إِلَيْكَ نَفَرًا مِّنَ الْجِنِّ يَسْتَمِعُونَ الْقُرْانَ
And (remember) when We sent towards you a group of the Jinn, to listen to the Qur'an.
"They were at a place called Nakhlah while Allah's Messenger was performing the `Isha' prayer,
and
كَادُواْ يَكُونُونَ عَلَيْهِ لِبَداً
they crowded on top of each other to hear him. (72:19)"
Sufyan said, "They stood on top of each other like piled wool."
Ahmad was alone in recording this.
Imam Ahmad and the famous Imam, Al-Hafiz Abu Bakr Al-Bayhaqi in his book Dala'il An-Nubuwwah, both recorded that Ibn Abbas, may Allah be pleased with him, said,
"Allah's Messenger never recited Qur'an to the Jinns, nor did he see them. Allah's Messenger was heading with a group of his Companions towards the `Ukaz market. At that time, the devils had been prevented from eavesdropping on the news of the heavens, and they were being attacked by burning flames (whenever they tried to listen). When the devils went back to their people, they asked them what happened to them, and they answered,
`We have been prevented from eavesdropping on the news of the heavens, and burning flames now attack us.'
Their people told them, `You have only been prevented from eavesdropping on the information of the heavens because of something (major) that has happened. So go all over the earth, east and west, and see what is it that has obstructed you from eavesdropping on the news of the heavens.'
Thus they traveled all over the earth, east and west, seeking that which had obstructed them from eavesdropping on the news of the heavens. A group of them went towards Tihamah, and found Allah's Messenger while he was at a place called Nakhlah along the way to the `Ukaz market. He was leading his Companions in the Fajr prayer. When the Jinns heard the recitation of the Qur'an, they stopped to listen to it, and then they said:
`By Allah! This is what has prevented you from eavesdropping on the news of the heavens.'
Then they returned to their people and told them:
`Our people! We certainly have heard an amazing recitation (the Qur'an), it guides to the right path. So we have believed in it, and we will join none in worship with our Lord.'
So Allah revealed to His Prophet,
قُلْ أُوحِىَ إِلَىَّ أَنَّهُ اسْتَمَعَ نَفَرٌ مِّنَ الْجِنِّ
Say:It has been revealed to me that a group of Jinns have listened (to the Qur'an). (72:19)
Thus, what was revealed to him was only the saying of the Jinns."
Al-Bukhari recorded a similar narration, and Muslim recorded it (as it is here).
At-Tirmidhi also recorded it, as did An-Nasa'i in his Tafsir.
Abdullah bin Mas`ud reported that;
the Jinns came down upon the Prophet while he was reciting the Qur'an at a place called Nakhlah. When they heard him,
قَالُوا أَنصِتُوا
(They said:"Listen quietly.") meaning, hush!
They were nine in number, and one of them was called Zawba`ah. So Allah revealed,
وَإِذْ صَرَفْنَا إِلَيْكَ نَفَرًا مِّنَ الْجِنِّ يَسْتَمِعُونَ الْقُرْانَ
فَلَمَّا حَضَرُوهُ قَالُوا أَنصِتُوا فَلَمَّا قُضِيَ وَلَّوْا إِلَى قَوْمِهِم مُّنذِرِينَ
And when We sent toward you a group of Jinns, to listen to the Qur'an. When they attended it, they said:"Listen quietly!" And when it was concluded, they returned to their people as warners. until His saying:
ضَلَلٍ مُّبِينٍ
manifest error. (Ayah 29-32)
Thus, this report along with the above one by Ibn Abbas, may Allah be pleased with him, indicate that Allah's Messenger was not aware of the presence of the Jinns at that time. They only listened to his recitation and went back to their people. Later on, they came to him in groups, one party after another, and one group after another.
As for Allah's saying,
Arabic

And when We sent toward you a group of Jinns, to listen to the Qur'an. When they attended it, they said:"Listen quietly!" And when it was concluded, they returned to their people as warners. until His saying:
ضَلَلٍ مُّبِينٍ

They only listened to his recitation and went back to their people. Later on, they came to him in groups, one party after another, and one group after another.
As for Allah's saying,
وَلَّوْا إِلَى قَوْمِهِم مُّنذِرِينَ
they returned to their people as warners.
It means that they went back to their people and warned them about what they heard from Allah's Messenger.
This is similar to Allah's saying,
لِّيَتَفَقَّهُواْ فِى الدِّينِ وَلِيُنذِرُواْ قَوْمَهُمْ إِذَا رَجَعُواْ إِلَيْهِمْ لَعَلَّهُمْ يَحْذَرُونَ
that they may obtain understanding in religion and warn their people when they return to them, so that they might be cautious (of evil). (9:122)
This Ayah has been used as evidence that the Jinns have warners from among themselves, but no Messengers. There is no doubt that Allah did not send Messengers from among the Jinns, because He says,
وَمَأ أَرْسَلْنَا مِن قَبْلِكَ إِلاَّ رِجَالاً نُّوحِى إِلَيْهِمْ مِّنْ أَهْلِ الْقُرَى
And We did not send before you as Messengers any but men, to whom We revealed from among the people of cities. (12:109)
And Allah says,
وَمَأ أَرْسَلْنَا قَبْلَكَ مِنَ الْمُرْسَلِينَ إِلاَّ إِنَّهُمْ لَيَأْكُلُونَ الطَّعَامَ وَيَمْشُونَ فِى الاٌّسْوَاقِ
And We never sent before you any of the Messengers but verily they ate food and walked in the markets. (25:20)
And He says about Ibrahim Al-Khalil, upon him be peace,
وَجَعَلْنَا فِى ذُرِّيَّتِهِ النُّبُوَّةَ وَالْكِتَـبَ
And We placed in his descendants Prophethood and Scripture. (29:27)
Thus, every Prophet whom Allah sent after Ibrahim was from his offspring and progeny.
As for Allah's saying in Surah Al-An`am,
يَـمَعْشَرَ الْجِنِّ وَالاِنْسِ أَلَمْ يَأْتِكُمْ رُسُلٌ مِّنْكُمْ
O company of Jinns and human beings! Did there not come to you Messengers from among you? (6:130)
It only applies to the two kinds collectively, but specifically pertains to just one of them, which is the human.
This is like Allah's saying,
يَخْرُجُ مِنْهُمَا الُّلوْلُوُ وَالمَرْجَانُ
From both of them (salty and fresh waters) emerge pearl and Marjan. (55:22)
Although He said "both of them" this applies to only one of the two types of water (the salty water).
Allah then explains how the Jinns warned their people. He says

And there is not a town (population) but We shall destroy it before the Day of Resurrection, or punish it with a severe torment. That is written in the Book (of our Decrees)
English - Ibn Kathir
The Destruction or Torment of all Disbelieving Towns before the Hour begins
Allah tells;
وَإِن مَّن قَرْيَةٍ إِلاَّ نَحْنُ مُهْلِكُوهَا قَبْلَ يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ أَوْ مُعَذِّبُوهَا عَذَابًا شَدِيدًا كَانَ ذَلِك فِي الْكِتَابِ مَسْطُورًا
And there is not a town (population) but We shall destroy it before the Day of Resurrection, or punish it with a severe torment. That is written in the Book (of Our decrees).
Here Allah tells us that He has decreed and it is written in Al-Lawh Al-Mahfuz (The Preserved Tablet) which is with Him, that there is no town that He will not destroy by wiping out all its people or by punishing them,
عَذَابًا شَدِيدًا
(with a severe torment), either by killing them or sending calamities upon them as He wills.
This will be because of their sins, as Allah says of the past nations:
وَمَا ظَلَمْنَـهُمْ وَلَـكِن ظَلَمُواْ أَنفُسَهُمْ
We wronged them not, but they wronged themselves. (11:101)
فَذَاقَتْ وَبَالَ أَمْرِهَا وَكَانَ عَـقِبَةُ أَمْرِهَا خُسْراً
So it tasted the evil result of its affair (disbelief), and the consequence of its affair (disbelief) was loss. (65:9)
وَكَأِيِّن مِّن قَرْيَةٍ عَتَتْ عَنْ أَمْرِ رَبِّهَا وَرُسُلِهِ
And many a town (population) revolted against the command of its Lord and His Messengers; (65:8)
and many Ayat

And there is not a town (population) but We shall destroy it before the Day of Resurrection, or punish it with a severe torment. That is written in the Book (of our Decrees)
English - Ibn Kathir
The Destruction or Torment of all Disbelieving Towns before the Hour begins
Allah tells;
وَإِن مَّن قَرْيَةٍ إِلاَّ نَحْنُ مُهْلِكُوهَا قَبْلَ يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ أَوْ مُعَذِّبُوهَا عَذَابًا شَدِيدًا كَانَ ذَلِك فِي الْكِتَابِ مَسْطُورًا
And there is not a town (population) but We shall destroy it before the Day of Resurrection, or punish it with a severe torment. That is written in the Book (of Our decrees).
Here Allah tells us that He has decreed and it is written in Al-Lawh Al-Mahfuz (The Preserved Tablet) which is with Him, that there is no town that He will not destroy by wiping out all its people or by punishing them,
عَذَابًا شَدِيدًا
(with a severe torment), either by killing them or sending calamities upon them as He wills.
This will be because of their sins, as Allah says of the past nations:
وَمَا ظَلَمْنَـهُمْ وَلَـكِن ظَلَمُواْ أَنفُسَهُمْ
We wronged them not, but they wronged themselves. (11:101)
فَذَاقَتْ وَبَالَ أَمْرِهَا وَكَانَ عَـقِبَةُ أَمْرِهَا خُسْراً
So it tasted the evil result of its affair (disbelief), and the consequence of its affair (disbelief) was loss. (65:9)
وَكَأِيِّن مِّن قَرْيَةٍ عَتَتْ عَنْ أَمْرِ رَبِّهَا وَرُسُلِهِ
And many a town (population) revolted against the command of its Lord and His Messengers; (65:8)
and many Ayat

Making the most of A'rafah;
The complete first 10 days of Dhul-Hijjah are given immense value by Allah S.W.T. He attaches so much importance to these days that He S.W.T swears by them in The Holy Quran.
Allah, the Most High & Exalted says: “By the Dawn; By the ten nights”
[Surah Al-Fajr:1-2]
1. Fasting,
For those not going to hajj, fasting on this day will absolve the sins from the previous year and the coming year, make sure you fast!
The Prophet (ﷺ) said: “Fasting the day of `Arafah expiates the sins of two years: the past one and the coming one.” (Muslim)
2. Stay clear of Major sins,
including Shirk, Zina, disobedience to parents, bribery, not giving Zakah, drinking, slandering, interest, losing hope in the Mercy of Allah and not fearing Allah, instead focus so hard on praying extra Ibadah
3. Make Fard Salah your TOP priority,
Remember-If you can fix your Salah, your Salah will fix everything else for you
4. Recite Tahleel, Takbeer, Tahmeed and Tasbeeh multiple times a day,
Takbeer means Allahu Akbar,
Tahmeed means Alhamdulilah
Tahleel is Laa-ilaaha-ilAllah
Tasbeeh is SubhanAllah.
5. Recite Quran abundantly,
If you already are in habit of reading Quran regularly, then you may set a goal of reading another Juz or reading the Tafseer of a Surah or two everyday during these 10 days, especially on the Day of Arafah.
6. It is the day of forgiveness of sins, freedom from the Fire,
Prophet (ﷺ) said: “There is no day on which Allaah frees more people from the Fire than the Day of ‘Arafaah. He comes close and expresses His pride to the angels, saying, ‘What do these people want?’” [Muslim]
7. Be extra nice to your parents,
This one is probably the most difficult one for young Muslims. No matter how angry you are at your parents for any reason, make a promise to yourself on the Day of Arafah that you will never get angry at them anymore.
8. Give Charity,
Spending in the way of Allah is one of the most beloved acts of worship in Islam. Charity does not only mean you have to spend money on the poor probably anything that puts smile on people face is a charity.
9. Re-think the purpose of your life and make a fresh start,
We don’t think about the purpose of our lives everyday. These 10 days including the Day of Arafah can be the turning point in your life.
10. Go out of your way to do Ibadah & more good deeds, make lots of Du'as, taubah and Istighfar.

Thus do We recompense the Mujrimun (criminals, polytheists, sinners, etc.).

وَأَنفِقُواْ مِن مَّا رَزَقۡنَٰكُم مِّن قَبۡلِ أَن يَأۡتِىَ أَحَدَكُمُ ٱلۡمَوۡتُ فَيَقُولَ رَبِّ لَوۡلَآ أَخَّرۡتَنِىٓ إِلَىٰٓ أَجَلٍ قَرِيبٍ فَأَصَّدَّقَ وَأَكُن مِّنَ ٱلصَّٰلِحِينَ

As you get more religious, your love for others is supposed to increase. You get kinder, more tolerant & wiser; not about being arrogant.
