116. Here way of blame denotes hold of the world in the Hereafter and its punishment. By cruelty is meant to cause harm.causing harm is the most common form of it, physical harm monetary harm. etc In short, cruelties are of different types.

Then the punishment for these is different or the punishment is death for another. It is cutting off of hands and feet, for one it is imprisonment .This verse A comprehensive for administration, legal judgements, social affairs.

117. Without right is revealing quality disclosure because rebellion is always a two forms of oppression, it is never a right thing.

.

It should he remembered that oppression is wo types: one is personal, the other is national. Oppress mankind" is personal oppression, e.g. o hit someone, to swear a person, to steal, etc, while to "rebel" is national oppression to betray country or the people, to rebel against the Muslim ruler, etc.

You should take revenge on both types of oppressors. However, to forgive the first oppressor would be politeness of character, but forgiving the second oppressor is oppression itself. For the second oppressor the verse mentions: "For them is the painful torment".
