Commentary

And when the counting of the great blessings came to an end in a manner that is in the utmost possibility of clarity, and the change of all possible beings from plants, inanimate objects, angels, and the heavens and [the earth] and what they contain, apart from the two weights, is on a single system with no variation in it. As for the two weights, their conditions due to the conflict of reason and desires can hardly be regulated. Rather, the change of the state of one of them in a single moment to many contradictory colors is due to what is in them of deceit and the conditions of overpowering, oppression, and seizing enjoyment. Most of them die by their fire without taking revenge. Wisdom necessitated, and it must be that there is a day for them to gather in, in which there will be a separation between them based on the scale of justice. He specifically mentioned them by saying, coming at the end with a warning, for there is no option for the disobedient after the blessings and clarity except for the severe threat to return to the obedience of the Sovereign, the Judge. The reference in the reading of the group with the 'noon' to the speech is a greater threat than the reading of Hamzah and Al-Kisai with the 'tah' in accordance with what has passed: "We will certainly finish" meaning: with a promise that is near, with no contradiction in all the matters that have been mentioned. "For you" meaning: we act as one who finishes for a thing, so there will be no other concern for him with the finishing of our troops from the angels and others whom we commanded with what our word has preceded and our wisdom has passed regarding lifespans, provisions, and other than that. Everything will come to an end, and at that time they will have no work except gathering you to judge between you: "O two weights" with the reference. The weight is what constitutes the essence of its owner. It is as if they are named thus to symbolize that they are the intended ones specifically among the creatures. And Al-Razi said in Al-Lawami: They were described as such to magnify their status, as if anything other than them has no weight in relation to them - this has ended. And this is as he said, blessings and peace be upon him: "Indeed, I am leaving among you the two weights: the Book of Allah and my progeny." And Ja'far Al-Sadiq said: They were named thus because they are weighed down by sins.
