Commentary
And when this is from the high morals and the causes of success and harmony, its result is undoubtedly: ﴿Those﴾ meaning the great and noble ones of high status. And it did not come with the pronoun of separation as it does for their opposites, to purify the action for Him, glorified and exalted is He, without regard to their pronouns that indicate their natures, because He is the One who created them. And He sufficed with the indication that points to the elevation of their status and the distance of their aspirations. (p-67) ﴿The companions of the right﴾ meaning the side in which there is goodness, blessing, and salvation from [every] destruction, by their two categories of the foremost ones who are brought near and the righteous companions of the right, as explained in the Surah of Al-Waqi'ah. And this is a hint at the one who wasted his wealth in competition, in opposition, and in contradiction.
