10. 1. By these are meant the select believers; this is the third category, those who are foremost in accepting faith and excel in participating in good deeds. Allah Almighty will grant them special closeness. This construction is similar to when it is said, "You are you, and Zaid is Zaid," in which the importance and virtue of Zaid are being expressed.
