Benefits and Issues:
The meaning is that rebellion and transgression (oppression and excess) and severing of kinship ties are two crimes such that, in addition to the punishment in the Hereafter, Allah Ta’ala generally gives their punishment quickly in this world as well.
Therefore, one should avoid severing kinship ties and also avoid oppression and transgression.
