Transliteration:( Illaa mar rahimal laah' innahoo huwal 'azeezur raheem )
44. From this we learn that he on whom Allah Almighty would be bestowing His mercy, will be receiving assistance from His pious servants, because the conjunction 'but' has cancelled the previous negation. The deceased servants who have divine mercy are believers.
45. It should be remembered that the manifestation of Allah's beneficence is reflected in the world. For this reason both His friends and enemies are given sustenance. In the Hereafter His attributes of Mercy will be seen. But, He will be merciful to the believers and inflict punishment on His enemies.

Please refer to Surah Dukhan ayat 38 which provides the complete commentary from verse 38 through 42.
37. These sentences portray the nature of the court that will be established on the Day of Decision. It will be a court where nobody’s help or support will help rescue any culprit nor have his sentence reduced. All powers will rest with the real Sovereign Whose decisions cannot be withheld from being enforced nor influenced by any power. It will entirely depend on His own discretion whether He forgives somebody mercifully, or awards him a lesser punishment. It indeed behooves Him to exercise justice mercifully and not mercilessly, but whatever decision He gives in any case, will be enforced entirely and completely. After this portrayal of the nature of the divine court, in the following few sentences it has been stated what will be the fate of those who will be found guilty in that court, and what will be conferred on those about whom it will be established that they had been refraining from Allah’s disobedience in the world out of fear of Him.
