Is it necessary for the argument to be established against the community that the argument reaches every individual specifically?

Question:
In the saying of Allah the Exalted[At-Tawbah 9:6], he asks: Is there evidence in this verse that for the argument to be established against the community, it is not necessary for the argument to reach every individual specifically?
Answer:
Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He) said to His Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): “He will warn you thereby, and whoever it reaches”[Al-An'am 6:19]. So if the Qur'an reaches a person, the argument is established against him. Yes.
In the saying of Allah the Exalted
And if any one of the polytheists seeks your protection, then grant him protection so that he may hear the words of Allah
وَإِنْ أَحَدٌ مِّنَ الْمُشْرِكِينَ اسْتَجَارَكَ فَأَجِرْهُ حَتَّىٰ يَسْمَعَ كَلَامَ اللَّهِAnswer:
Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He) said to His Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): “He will warn you thereby, and whoever it reaches”
And this Qur'an was revealed to me that I may warn you thereby and whomever it reaches.
وَأُوحِيَ إِلَيَّ هَٰذَا الْقُرْآنُ لِأُنذِرَكُم بِهِ وَمَن بَلَغَ
