This verse is an example for those who glorify worldly life and disdain the company of believers. There is disagreement regarding the identity and names of the two men. It has been said that it was revealed concerning two Makhzumi brothers from Mecca, one a believer and the other an infidel. Other interpretations have also been offered. It has also been said that it is a parable set forth by Allah Almighty for this Ummah, to encourage them to renounce worldly life and desire the Hereafter, and He made it a warning and an admonition.
