It is darkness upon darkness whereby even if one stretches out his hands he can not see them. One can have no light unless God gives him light. (24:40) The Imam (a.s.) said, " 'darkness' refers to the first and his friend, 'with layers of giant waves' refers to the third, 'covered with darkness' refers to the second. 'it is darkness up on darkness' refers to Mu'awiya and the disasters caused by the Amavides. 'even if one stretches out his hands' means that even if a true believer would stretch his hands in such disastrous condition 'he can not see them'.
