138. The reason for stating 'some' is to show that some of the punishments on the infidels would be meted out in this world quickly, while the punishments of the grave and the Hereafter would come later. Thus, the first punishment these infidels received at the hands of the believers was in the battle-field of Badr.

89. This is a royal way of saying a thing. When words like “may be”, “perhaps”, “no wonder”, etc. occur in the Divine discourse, they do not contain any sense of doubt, but express Allah’s Independence and Self-Sufficiency. Allah’s power is so great that His willing a thing and its happening is one and the same thing. It is inconceivable that He should will a thing and it should not happen. Therefore, when He says, “No wonder it may well be so”, it means, “It will certainly be so if you do not mend your ways.”

(72) Say, "Perhaps it is close behind you [i.e., very near] - some of that for which you are impatient.
