This ayah turns attention to the second group at the conclusion of the surah: أَصْحَابِ الْيَمِينِ — the people of the right hand. The focus is a clear question: what about the person who is from them?
وَأَمَّا إِن كَانَ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ الْيَمِينِ
After returning from the first group of السَّابِقُون (Saabiqoon), described here as the “First and foremost,” the surah now turns again to the second group. This makes the ayah a deliberate shift in address near the ending of the surah.
As’haab ul-Yameen, meaning “the people of the right hand.”
The surah mentions the first group: السَّابِقُون (Saabiqoon), the “First and foremost.”
At the conclusion of the surah, the discourse returns to the second group again.
The ayah raises the matter of the one who is from the people of the right hand: what about that person?
This verse segment does not expand beyond the group’s identification. Its emphasis is on recognition of category and the return of address: the surah has spoken of one group, and here it turns again to the second group, the people of the right hand.
