Commentary (Tafsir Ibn Kathir)

The Criminals will certainly be avenged -- whether in This World or in the HereafterAllah said to His Messenger :وَإِمَّا نُرِيَنَّكَ بَعْضَ الَّذِى نَعِدُهُمْ(Whether We show you some of what We promise them (the torment),) We shall avenge them in your lifetime so your eye will be delighted.أَوْ نَتَوَفَّيَنَّكَ فَإِلَيْنَا مَرْجِعُهُمْ(Or We cause you to die -- still unto Us is their return,) Allah will then be the Witness watching over their actions for you.
