Commentary
'And you' means while you are those who are in seclusion around the one who is dying, lamenting for him. 'At that time' means when the soul reaches that place. And when their sight does not penetrate into the unseen like nothingness, He said: 'You look' meaning you have the description of gazing at him, and you have no means or action other than looking. And He did not say: 'You see' so that it would not be assumed that they have perception by sight of anything from the unseen, such as the reality of the soul and others like it.
