مُتَّكِـِٔينَ عَلَىٰ فُرُشٍۭ بَطَآئِنُهَا مِنْ إِسْتَبْرَقٍ ۚ وَجَنَى ٱلْجَنَّتَيْنِ دَانٍ
38:52.
Three times the words "two gardens" have been used in this Surah. This is to emphasize that apart from the great blessings and boons of Paradise in the next world, believers will have all the good things of this world also.

Commentary:
Three times the words "two Gardens" have been used in this Surah. This is to emphasize that apart from the great blessings and boons of Paradise in the next world, true believers will have all the good things of this world also. The Surah was revealed early at Mecca when only a few persons had accepted Islam and even those few were very poor and without worldly means and were being harried and harassed and most of them had to take refuge in Abyssinia from the bitter persecution of the Quraish. It was then that the promise was made to them that one day they would recline on couches placed on rich carpets. This Divine promise was literally fulfilled in the lifetime of the very Muslims who, while at Mecca, did not know where to lay their heads.
The "inner linings being of thick brocade" implies a beautiful hint that the inner-self of a believer is purer and more beautiful than his outer-self.

مُتَّكِـِٔينَ عَلَىٰ رَفْرَفٍ خُضْرٍ وَعَبْقَرِىٍّ حِسَانٍ
55:55.
Again the words used in v.55 about believers show that they possess greater dignity, respect and authority than those to whom the present verse refers. With this verse the comparison between these two categories of believers specifically mentioned in the next Surah, i.e. "the foremost" (56:11) and "those on the right hand" (56:28) comes to an end.
See 55:55.
Commentary:
عبقری is relative noun from عبقر, a place which the Arabs asserted to be the land of the jinn; hence it is applied as an epithet to anything wondered at or admired, for the skillfulness which it exhibits, or the excellence of its manufacture and its strength; or to any work great in estimation, and delicate. It is both singular and plural and the feminine is عبقریة. They say ثیاب عبقریة i.e. clothes or garments of admirable manufacture, so called in relation to a certain town عبقر in Yemen in which clothes or garments and carpets are figured and variegated and are of the utmost beauty. Thus عبقری means, a kind of carpet variously dyed and figured; perfect or complete applied to anything; a lord or chief of men; one who has none above him and is strong. ھذا عبقری قومmeans, this is a chief or Lord of a people. The word is also applied as an epithet denoting superlativeness of any quality. ظلمعبقری means, an excessive tyranny. The Holy Prophet is reported to have related a dream, mentioning ‘Umar and said: فلم أر عبقریا یفری فریه i.e. I have not seen a chief of a people do his wonderful deed. عبقری حسان means, beautiful variegated carpets (Lane & Aqrab).

Commentary:
The Surah contains a contrast between the heavenly rewards that the righteous will receive and the severe punishment which will be meted out to the sinful for rejecting the Divine Message. The construction of this and the preceding eight verses shows that Muslims collectively will share in the gifts and rewards mentioned in them.
