Does the good news come generally with evil?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original

The student: ... We said that the warning is specific... The warning is either general or, at times, specific. Is it permissible for the good news to be general in the same way?

The Shaykh : No.
The student: ...

The Shaykh :

give them tidings of a painful punishment.

بشِّرهم بعذاب أليم

[Ali 'Imran 3:21]

They said that this is a form of mockery toward them, like when you mock a person by saying, "Good news of the whip on your back." It is mockery of him. Yes.
