Commentary

And when he mentioned the Day, he divided its people into the two intended categories mentioned at the beginning of the Surah. He said, indicating the inner realities by the noblest of outward appearances: "Faces on that Day" meaning when what has preceded of fleeing and other things "is radiant" meaning white, illuminated by the brightness and light, from 'asfara' the morning - when it shines and becomes bright.
