And see them and what will be decreed upon them of captivity, killing, and punishment in the Hereafter. They will surely see you and what will be decreed for you of victory, support, and reward in the end. The meaning of the command to see them in the awaited state is to indicate that it will certainly happen, and that its occurrence is near as if it is right before your eyes.
