Commentators have suggested different ideas about the twice repeated verse, mentioned above, which says the same facts for emphasis: To inform them that the Hereafter is in the near future, or to tell them two separate matters: (1) That they will see the punishment of this world in the near future, and (2) that they will see the next world's punishment after that (of which, the first idea seems more appropriate) .

It is also probable that this refers to the improvement and progress of Man's knowledge, when there will be so many reasons and evidences for the possibility of the Resurrection that even the disbelievers cannot afford to deny, but can only confess, the Reality.

However, the fault in this commentary is that this kind of knowledge is for the later generations of Mankind, which this verse refers to, and not for those who used to live at the Prophet's time (p.b.u.h.) and differed on the existence of the Hereafter.

Explanation: The proposition of 'Vicegereny' and /naba'-in-'azim/ (The Great News) '; As was mentioned earlier, it has been said that the phrase /naba'-in-'azim/ has several meanings: 'the Hereafter, the Holy Qur'an, the entire Islamic Principles', etc. But, the whole concept, taken from the verses altogether, leads us to 'Resurrection' as having the closest meaning. There are a lot of narrations, some of which have been cited by the Household of the Prophet 'Ahlul-Bait'.

(p.b.u.h.) , and some others by Sunni commentators, that say the phrase /aba'-in-'azim/efers to Hazrat Ali's (p.b.u.h.) vicegerency and Imamat (the leadership of the Islamic community) , which is a matter of dispute among a group of Muslims, even today. Or it is interpreted as vicegerency, in general.
