And by the Witness and that about whom witness has been borne,
English - Five Volume Translation
And by the Witness and by him about Whom witness is borne,
Commentary:
Every Prophet or Divine Reformer is شاھد i.e. bearer of witness, because he is a living witness to the existence of God, and he is also مشھود (about whom witness is borne) because God bears witness to his truth by showing signs and miracles at his hands, and by creating conditions and circumstances which establish the truth of his Message and mission. But here, as the text shows, the شاھد (bearer of witness) is the Promised Messiah and (about whom witness is borne) is the Holy Prophet, and the verse signifies that the Promised Messiah will bear witness to the truth of the Holy Prophet by his speeches, discourses and writings, and by the signs that God will show at his hands. The Promised Messiah will also bear witness to the truth of the Holy Prophet in the sense that in his person the prophecy of the Holy Prophet about the appearance of the Messiah and Mahdi in the 14th century A.H. will be fulfilled. The Promised Messiah will also be مشھودin the sense that the hadith of the Holy Prophet will bear witness to his truth. Thus the Holy Prophet and the Promised Messiah will both be شاھد (bearer of witness) and مشھود (about whom witness is borne).

And the witness and he to whom witness is borne,
Every Prophet or Divine Reformer is a Shahid, i.e. bearer of witness, because he is a living witness to the existence of God, and he is also Mashhud (to whom witness is borne) because God bears witness to his truth by showing Signs and miracles at his hands. But here, as the text shows, the Shahid is the Promised Messiah and Mashhud is the Holy Prophet, and the verse signifies that the Promised Messiah will bear witness to the truth of the Holy Prophet by his speeches, discourses and writings and by the Signs that God will show at his hands. He will also bear witness in the sense that in his person the prophecy of the Holy Prophet about the appearance of the Promised Messiah and Mahdi in the 14th century A.H. will be fulfilled. The Promised Messiah is also Mashhud in the sense that the Holy Prophet himself has borne witness to his truth. Thus the Holy Prophet and the Promised Messiah are both Shahids (bearers of witness) and Mashhuds (to whom witness is born
