(Alif Lam Mim. The revelation...) (32) and;

﴿ هَلۡ أَتَىٰ عَلَى ٱلۡإِنسَـٰنِ ﴾

(Has there not been over man...) (76)

﴿ بِسۡمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحۡمَـٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ ﴾

Tafsir Ibn Kathir

Allah guided Him to the Path, so Man is either Grateful or Ungrateful

Allah says,

﴿ إِنَّا هَدَيۡنَـٰهُ ٱلسَّبِيلَ ﴾

(Verily, We guided to him the way,) meaning, `We explained it to him, made it clear to him and showed it to him.' This is as Allah says,

﴿ وَأَمَّا ثَمُودُ فَهَدَيۡنَـٰهُمۡ فَٱسۡتَحَبُّواْ ٱلۡعَمَىٰ عَلَى ٱلۡهُدَىٰ ﴾

(And as for Thamud, We guided them but they preferred blindness to guidance.) (41:17) Allah also said,

﴿ وَهَدَيۡنَـٰهُ ٱلنَّجۡدَيۡنِ ﴾

(And We guided him to the two ways.) (90:10) meaning, `We explained to him the path of good and the path of evil.' This is the statement of `Ikrimah, `Atiyah, Ibn Zayd and Mujahid from what is well-known from him and the majority. Allah then says,

﴿ إِمَّا شَاكِرً۬ا وَإِمَّا كَفُورًا ﴾

(Whether he be grateful or ungrateful.) This is his decree. Thus, with this he is either wretched or happy. This is like what has been recorded by Muslim in a Hadith from Abu Malik Al-Ash`ari. He said that the Messenger of Allah said,

« كُلُّ النَّاسِ يَغْدُو فَبَائِعٌ نَفْسَهُ، فَمُوبِقُهَا أَوْ مُعْتِقُهَا »

(All of mankind wakes up in the morning the merchant of his own soul. So he either imprisons it or sets it free. )

﴿ إِنَّآ أَعۡتَدۡنَا لِلۡكَـٰفِرِينَ سَلَـٰسِلَاْ وَأَغۡلَـٰلاً۬ وَسَعِيرًا • إِنَّ ٱلۡأَبۡرَارَ يَشۡرَبُونَ مِن كَأۡسٍ۬ كَانَ مِزَاجُهَا ڪَافُورًا • عَيۡنً۬ا يَشۡرَبُ بِہَا عِبَادُ ٱللَّهِ يُفَجِّرُونَہَا تَفۡجِيرً۬ا • يُوفُونَ بِٱلنَّذۡرِ وَيَخَافُونَ يَوۡمً۬ا كَانَ شَرُّهُ ۥ مُسۡتَطِيرً۬ا • وَيُطۡعِمُونَ ٱلطَّعَامَ عَلَىٰ حُبِّهِۦ مِسۡكِينً۬ا وَيَتِيمً۬ا وَأَسِيرًا • إِنَّمَا نُطۡعِمُكُمۡ لِوَجۡهِ ٱللَّهِ لَا نُرِيدُ مِنكُمۡ جَزَآءً۬ وَلَا شُكُورًا • إِنَّا نَخَافُ مِن رَّبِّنَا يَوۡمًا عَبُوسً۬ا قَمۡطَرِيرً۬ا • فَوَقَٮٰهُمُ ٱللَّهُ شَرَّ ذَٲلِكَ ٱلۡيَوۡمِ وَلَقَّٮٰهُمۡ نَضۡرَةً۬ وَسُرُورً۬ا • وَجَزَٮٰهُم بِمَا صَبَرُواْ جَنَّةً۬ وَحَرِيرً۬ا ﴾

(4. Verily, We have prepared for the disbelievers iron chains, iron collars, and Sa`ir.) (5. Verily, the Abrar (righteous believers) shall drink of a cup mixed with Kafur.) (6. A spring wherefrom the servants of Allah will drink, causing it to gush forth abundantly.) (7. They fulfill (their) vows, and they fear a Day whose evil will be wide-spreading.) (8. And they give food, inspite of their love for it, to the poor, the orphan and the captive,) (9. (Saying): "We feed you seeking Allah's Face only. We wish for no reward, nor thanks from you.'') (10. "Verily, We fear from our Lord a Day that is `Abus and Qamtarir.'') (11. So, Allah saved them from the evil of that Day, and gave them Nadrah (a light of beauty) and joy.) (12. And their recompense shall be Paradise, and silken garments, because they were patient.)

إِنَّ ٱلۡأَبۡرَارَ يَشۡرَبُونَ مِن كَأۡسٍ۬ كَانَ مِزَاجُهَا ڪَافُورًا

Allah guided Him to the Path, so Man is either Grateful or Ungrateful

Allah says,

﴿ إِنَّا هَدَيۡنَـٰهُ ٱلسَّبِيلَ ﴾

(Verily, We guided to him the way,) meaning, `We explained it to him, made it clear to him and showed it to him.' This is as Allah says,

﴿ وَأَمَّا ثَمُودُ فَهَدَيۡنَـٰهُمۡ فَٱسۡتَحَبُّواْ ٱلۡعَمَىٰ عَلَى ٱلۡهُدَىٰ ﴾

(And as for Thamud, We guided them but they preferred blindness to guidance.) (41:17) Allah also said,

﴿ وَهَدَيۡنَـٰهُ ٱلنَّجۡدَيۡنِ ﴾

(And We guided him to the two ways.) (90:10) meaning, `We explained to him the path of good and the path of evil.' This is the statement of `Ikrimah, `Atiyah, Ibn Zayd and Mujahid from what is well-known from him and the majority. Allah then says,

﴿ إِمَّا شَاكِرً۬ا وَإِمَّا كَفُورًا ﴾

(Whether he be grateful or ungrateful.) This is his decree. Thus, with this he is either wretched or happy. This is like what has been recorded by Muslim in a Hadith from Abu Malik Al-Ash`ari. He said that the Messenger of Allah said,

« كُلُّ النَّاسِ يَغْدُو فَبَائِعٌ نَفْسَهُ، فَمُوبِقُهَا أَوْ مُعْتِقُهَا »

Some Details concerning the Reward of the Righteous in Paradise and what it contains of Delights

Allah says,

﴿ فَوَقَٮٰهُمُ ٱللَّهُ شَرَّ ذَٲلِكَ ٱلۡيَوۡمِ وَلَقَّٮٰهُمۡ نَضۡرَةً۬ وَسُرُورً۬ا ﴾

(So, Allah saved them from the evil of that Day, and gave them Nadrah (a light of beauty) and joy.) This is used as a way of eloquence in stating similarity (i.e., two similar things).

﴿ فَوَقَٮٰهُمُ ٱللَّهُ شَرَّ ذَٲلِكَ ٱلۡيَوۡمِ ﴾

(So, Allah saved them from the evil of that Day,) meaning, He protects them from that which they fear of it.

﴿ وَلَقَّٮٰهُمۡ نَضۡرَةً۬ ﴾

(and gave them Nadrah (a light of beauty)) meaning, in their faces.

﴿ وَسُرُورً۬ا ﴾

(And joy) in their hearts. Al-Hasan Al-Basri, Qatadah, Abu `Aliyah and Ar-Rabi` bin Anas all stated this. This is similar to Allah's statement,

﴿ وُجُوهٌ۬ يَوۡمَٮِٕذٍ۬ مُّسۡفِرَةٌ۬ • ضَاحِكَةٌ۬ مُّسۡتَبۡشِرَةٌ۬ ﴾

(Some faces that Day will be bright, laughing, rejoicing at good news.) This is because if the heart is happy, then the face will be enlightened. As Ka`b bin Malik said in his lengthy Hadith about Allah's Messenger , whenever he was happy, then his face will be radiant until it will be as if it is a piece of the moon. `A'ishah said, "The Messenger of Allah entered into my home happy and his facial expression was glowing.'' And the Hadith continues. Allah then says,

﴿ وَجَزَٮٰهُم بِمَا صَبَرُواْ ﴾

(And their recompense because they were patient) meaning, due to their patience He will give them, bestow upon them and accommodate them with Paradise and silken garments. This means a home that is spacious, a delightful life and fine clothing. Al-Hafiz Ibn `Asakir said in his biography of Hisham bin Sulayman Ad-Darani, "Surat Al-Insan was recited to Abu Sulayman Ad-Darani, and when the reciter reached the Ayah where Allah says,

﴿ وَجَزَٮٰهُم بِمَا صَبَرُواْ جَنَّةً۬ وَحَرِيرً۬ا ﴾

(And their recompense shall be Paradise, and silken garments, because they were patient.) he (Abu Sulayman) said, `Because they were patient in leaving off their desires in the world.'''

﴿ مُّتَّكِـِٔينَ فِيہَا عَلَى ٱلۡأَرَآٮِٕكِ‌ۖ لَا يَرَوۡنَ فِيہَا شَمۡسً۬ا وَلَا زَمۡهَرِيرً۬ا • وَدَانِيَةً عَلَيۡہِمۡ ظِلَـٰلُهَا وَذُلِّلَتۡ قُطُوفُهَا تَذۡلِيلاً۬ • وَيُطَافُ عَلَيۡہِم بِـَٔانِيَةٍ۬ مِّن فِضَّةٍ۬ وَأَكۡوَابٍ۬ كَانَتۡ قَوَارِيرَا۟ • قَوَارِيرَاْ مِن فِضَّةٍ۬ قَدَّرُوهَا تَقۡدِيرً۬ا • وَيُسۡقَوۡنَ فِيہَا كَأۡسً۬ا كَانَ مِزَاجُهَا زَنجَبِيلاً • عَيۡنً۬ا فِيہَا تُسَمَّىٰ سَلۡسَبِيلاً۬ • وَيَطُوفُ عَلَيۡہِمۡ وِلۡدَٲنٌ۬ مُّخَلَّدُونَ إِذَا رَأَيۡتَہُمۡ حَسِبۡتَہُمۡ لُؤۡلُؤً۬ا مَّنثُورً۬ا • وَإِذَا رَأَيۡتَ ثَمَّ رَأَيۡتَ نَعِيمً۬ا وَمُلۡكً۬ا كَبِيرًا • عَـٰلِيَہُمۡ ثِيَابُ سُندُسٍ خُضۡرٌ۬ وَإِسۡتَبۡرَقٌ۬‌ۖ وَحُلُّوٓاْ أَسَاوِرَ مِن فِضَّةٍ۬ وَسَقَٮٰهُمۡ رَبُّہُمۡ شَرَابً۬ا طَهُورًا • إِنَّ هَـٰذَا كَانَ لَكُمۡ جَزَآءً۬ وَكَانَ سَعۡيُكُم مَّشۡكُورًا ﴾

(13. Reclining therein on raised couches, they will see there neither the excessive heat, nor the excessive cold.) (14. And the shade thereof is close upon them, and the bunches of fruit thereof will hang low within their reach.) (15. And among them will be passed round vessels of silver and cups of crystal --) (16. (Qawarir) Crystal-clear, made of silver. They will determine the measure thereof.) (17. And they will be given to drink there of a cup (of wine) mixed with Zanjabil (ginger),) (18. A spring there, called Salsabil.) (19. And round about them will (serve) boys of everlasting youth. If you see them, you would think them scattered pearls.) (20. And when you look there (in Paradise), you will see a delight (that cannot be imagined), and a great dominion.) (21. Their garments will be of fine green silk, and Istabraq. They will be adorned with bracelets of silver, and their Lord will give them a purifying drink.) (22. (And it will be said to them): "Verily, this is a reward for you, and your endeavor has been accepted.'')

14

﴿ فَوَقَٮٰهُمُ ٱللَّهُ شَرَّ ذَٲلِكَ ٱلۡيَوۡمِ وَلَقَّٮٰهُمۡ نَضۡرَةً۬ وَسُرُورً۬ا ﴾

(So, Allah saved them from the evil of that Day, and gave them Nadrah (a light of beauty) and joy.) This is used as a way of eloquence in stating similarity (i.e., two similar things).

﴿ فَوَقَٮٰهُمُ ٱللَّهُ شَرَّ ذَٲلِكَ ٱلۡيَوۡمِ ﴾

(So, Allah saved them from the evil of that Day,) meaning, He protects them from that which they fear of it.

﴿ وَلَقَّٮٰهُمۡ نَضۡرَةً۬ ﴾

(and gave them Nadrah (a light of beauty)) meaning, in their faces.

﴿ وَسُرُورً۬ا ﴾

(And joy) in their hearts. Al-Hasan Al-Basri, Qatadah, Abu `Aliyah and Ar-Rabi` bin Anas all stated this. This is similar to Allah's statement,

﴿ وُجُوهٌ۬ يَوۡمَٮِٕذٍ۬ مُّسۡفِرَةٌ۬ • ضَاحِكَةٌ۬ مُّسۡتَبۡشِرَةٌ۬ ﴾

(Some faces that Day will be bright, laughing, rejoicing at good news.) This is because if the heart is happy, then the face will be enlightened. As Ka`b bin Malik said in his lengthy Hadith about Allah's Messenger , whenever he was happy, then his face will be radiant until it will be as if it is a piece of the moon. `A'ishah said, "The Messenger of Allah entered into my home happy and his facial expression was glowing.'' And the Hadith continues. Allah then says,

﴿ وَجَزَٮٰهُم بِمَا صَبَرُواْ ﴾

(And their recompense because they were patient) meaning, due to their patience He will give them, bestow upon them and accommodate them with Paradise and silken garments. This means a home that is spacious, a delightful life and fine clothing. Al-Hafiz Ibn `Asakir said in his biography of Hisham bin Sulayman Ad-Darani, "Surat Al-Insan was recited to Abu Sulayman Ad-Darani, and when the reciter reached the Ayah where Allah says,

﴿ وَجَزَٮٰهُم بِمَا صَبَرُواْ جَنَّةً۬ وَحَرِيرً۬ا ﴾

(And their recompense shall be Paradise, and silken garments, because they were patient.) he (Abu Sulayman) said, `Because they were patient in leaving off their desires in the world.'''

﴿ مُّتَّكِـِٔينَ فِيہَا عَلَى ٱلۡأَرَآٮِٕكِ‌ۖ لَا يَرَوۡنَ فِيہَا شَمۡسً۬ا وَلَا زَمۡهَرِيرً۬ا • وَدَانِيَةً عَلَيۡہِمۡ ظِلَـٰلُهَا وَذُلِّلَتۡ قُطُوفُهَا تَذۡلِيلاً۬ • وَيُطَافُ عَلَيۡہِم بِـَٔانِيَةٍ۬ مِّن فِضَّةٍ۬ وَأَكۡوَابٍ۬ كَانَتۡ قَوَارِيرَا۟ • قَوَارِيرَاْ مِن فِضَّةٍ۬ قَدَّرُوهَا تَقۡدِيرً۬ا • وَيُسۡقَوۡنَ فِيہَا كَأۡسً۬ا كَانَ مِزَاجُهَا زَنجَبِيلاً • عَيۡنً۬ا فِيہَا تُسَمَّىٰ سَلۡسَبِيلاً۬ • وَيَطُوفُ عَلَيۡہِمۡ وِلۡدَٲنٌ۬ مُّخَلَّدُونَ إِذَا رَأَيۡتَہُمۡ حَسِبۡتَہُمۡ لُؤۡلُؤً۬ا مَّنثُورً۬ا • وَإِذَا رَأَيۡتَ ثَمَّ رَأَيۡتَ نَعِيمً۬ا وَمُلۡكً۬ا كَبِيرًا • عَـٰلِيَہُمۡ ثِيَابُ سُندُسٍ خُضۡرٌ۬ وَإِسۡتَبۡرَقٌ۬‌ۖ وَحُلُّوٓاْ أَسَاوِرَ مِن فِضَّةٍ۬ وَسَقَٮٰهُمۡ رَبُّہُمۡ شَرَابً۬ا طَهُورًا • إِنَّ هَـٰذَا كَانَ لَكُمۡ جَزَآءً۬ وَكَانَ سَعۡيُكُم مَّشۡكُورًا ﴾

(13. Reclining therein on raised couches, they will see there neither the excessive heat, nor the excessive cold.) (14. And the shade thereof is close upon them, and the bunches of fruit thereof will hang low within their reach.) (15. And among them will be passed round vessels of silver and cups of crystal --) (16. (Qawarir) Crystal-clear, made of silver. They will determine the measure thereof.) (17. And they will be given to drink there of a cup (of wine) mixed with Zanjabil (ginger),) (18. A spring there, called Salsabil.) (19. And round about them will (serve) boys of everlasting youth. If you see them, you would think them scattered pearls.) (20. And when you look there (in Paradise), you will see a delight (that cannot be imagined), and a great dominion.) (21. Their garments will be of fine green silk, and Istabraq. They will be adorned with bracelets of silver, and their Lord will give them a purifying drink.) (22. (And it will be said to them): "Verily, this is a reward for you, and your endeavor has been accepted.'')

Some Details concerning the Reward of the Righteous in Paradise and what it contains of Delights

Allah says,

﴿ فَوَقَٮٰهُمُ ٱللَّهُ شَرَّ ذَٲلِكَ ٱلۡيَوۡمِ وَلَقَّٮٰهُمۡ نَضۡرَةً۬ وَسُرُورً۬ا ﴾

(So, Allah saved them from the evil of that Day, and gave them Nadrah (a light of beauty) and joy.) This is used as a way of eloquence in stating similarity (i.e., two similar things).

﴿ فَوَقَٮٰهُمُ ٱللَّهُ شَرَّ ذَٲلِكَ ٱلۡيَوۡمِ ﴾

(So, Allah saved them from the evil of that Day,) meaning, He protects them from that which they fear of it.

﴿ وَلَقَّٮٰهُمۡ نَضۡرَةً۬ ﴾

(and gave them Nadrah (a light of beauty)) meaning, in their faces.

﴿ وَسُرُورً۬ا ﴾

(And joy) in their hearts. Al-Hasan Al-Basri, Qatadah, Abu `Aliyah and Ar-Rabi` bin Anas all stated this. This is similar to Allah's statement,

﴿ وُجُوهٌ۬ يَوۡمَٮِٕذٍ۬ مُّسۡفِرَةٌ۬ • ضَاحِكَةٌ۬ مُّسۡتَبۡشِرَةٌ۬ ﴾

(Some faces that Day will be bright, laughing, rejoicing at good news.) This is because if the heart is happy, then the face will be enlightened. As Ka`b bin Malik said in his lengthy Hadith about Allah's Messenger , whenever he was happy, then his face will be radiant until it will be as if it is a piece of the moon. `A'ishah said, "The Messenger of Allah entered into my home happy and his facial expression was glowing.'' And the Hadith continues. Allah then says,

﴿ وَجَزَٮٰهُم بِمَا صَبَرُواْ ﴾

(And their recompense because they were patient) meaning, due to their patience He will give them, bestow upon them and accommodate them with Paradise and silken garments. This means a home that is spacious, a delightful life and fine clothing. Al-Hafiz Ibn `Asakir said in his biography of Hisham bin Sulayman Ad-Darani, "Surat Al-Insan was recited to Abu Sulayman Ad-Darani, and when the reciter reached the Ayah where Allah says,

﴿ وَجَزَٮٰهُم بِمَا صَبَرُواْ جَنَّةً۬ وَحَرِيرً۬ا ﴾

(And their recompense shall be Paradise, and silken garments, because they were patient.) he (Abu Sulayman) said, `Because they were patient in leaving off their desires in the world.'''

﴿ مُّتَّكِـِٔينَ فِيہَا عَلَى ٱلۡأَرَآٮِٕكِ‌ۖ لَا يَرَوۡنَ فِيہَا شَمۡسً۬ا وَلَا زَمۡهَرِيرً۬ا • وَدَانِيَةً عَلَيۡہِمۡ ظِلَـٰلُهَا وَذُلِّلَتۡ قُطُوفُهَا تَذۡلِيلاً۬ • وَيُطَافُ عَلَيۡہِم بِـَٔانِيَةٍ۬ مِّن فِضَّةٍ۬ وَأَكۡوَابٍ۬ كَانَتۡ قَوَارِيرَا۟ • قَوَارِيرَاْ مِن فِضَّةٍ۬ قَدَّرُوهَا تَقۡدِيرً۬ا • وَيُسۡقَوۡنَ فِيہَا كَأۡسً۬ا كَانَ مِزَاجُهَا زَنجَبِيلاً • عَيۡنً۬ا فِيہَا تُسَمَّىٰ سَلۡسَبِيلاً۬ • وَيَطُوفُ عَلَيۡہِمۡ وِلۡدَٲنٌ۬ مُّخَلَّدُونَ إِذَا رَأَيۡتَہُمۡ حَسِبۡتَہُمۡ لُؤۡلُؤً۬ا مَّنثُورً۬ا • وَإِذَا رَأَيۡتَ ثَمَّ رَأَيۡتَ نَعِيمً۬ا وَمُلۡكً۬ا كَبِيرًا • عَـٰلِيَہُمۡ ثِيَابُ سُندُسٍ خُضۡرٌ۬ وَإِسۡتَبۡرَقٌ۬‌ۖ وَحُلُّوٓاْ أَسَاوِرَ مِن فِضَّةٍ۬ وَسَقَٮٰهُمۡ رَبُّہُمۡ شَرَابً۬ا طَهُورًا • إِنَّ هَـٰذَا كَانَ لَكُمۡ جَزَآءً۬ وَكَانَ سَعۡيُكُم مَّشۡكُورًا ﴾

(13. Reclining therein on raised couches, they will see there neither the excessive heat, nor the excessive cold.) (14. And the shade thereof is close upon them, and the bunches of fruit thereof will hang low within their reach.) (15. And among them will be passed round vessels of silver and cups of crystal --) (16.

The Garments and Ornaments

Allah says,

﴿ عَـٰلِيَہُمۡ ثِيَابُ سُندُسٍ خُضۡرٌ۬ وَإِسۡتَبۡرَقٌ۬‌ۖ ﴾

(Their garments will be of fine green silk, and Istabraq.) meaning, among the garments of the people of Paradise is silk and Sundus, which is a high quality silk. These garments will be shirts and similar clothing from the undergarments. Concerning Istabraq (velvet), from it there is that which has a glitter and shimmer to it, and it is that which is worn as outer clothes, just as is well-known in clothing.

﴿ وَحُلُّوٓاْ أَسَاوِرَ مِن فِضَّةٍ۬ ﴾

(They will be adorned with bracelets of silver,) This is a description of the righteous. In reference to those who will be near to Allah, then their description is as Allah says,

﴿ يُحَلَّوۡنَ فِيهَا مِنۡ أَسَاوِرَ مِن ذَهَبٍ۬ وَلُؤۡلُؤً۬ا‌ۖ وَلِبَاسُهُمۡ فِيهَا حَرِيرٌ۬ ﴾

(Wherein they will be adorned with bracelets of gold and pearls and their garments therein will be of silk.) (22:23) After Allah mentions the outward beautification with silk and ornaments, He then says,

﴿ وَسَقَٮٰهُمۡ رَبُّہُمۡ شَرَابً۬ا طَهُورًا ﴾

(and their Lord will give them a purifying drink.) meaning, it will purify their insides of envy, despise, hatred, harm and the other reprehensible character traits. This is just as we have recorded from the Commander of the believers, `Ali bin Abi Talib, that he said, "When the people of Paradise come to the Gate of Paradise, they will find two springs there. Then it will be as if they were inspired with what to do, so they will drink from one of them and Allah will remove whatever harmfulness there may be within them. Then they will bathe in the other spring and a glow of delight will run all over them. Thus, Allah informs of their outward condition and their inner beauty.'' Allah then says,

﴿ إِنَّ هَـٰذَا كَانَ لَكُمۡ جَزَآءً۬ وَكَانَ سَعۡيُكُم مَّشۡكُورًا ﴾

The Garments and Ornaments

Allah says,

﴿ عَـٰلِيَہُمۡ ثِيَابُ سُندُسٍ خُضۡرٌ۬ وَإِسۡتَبۡرَقٌ۬‌ۖ ﴾

(Their garments will be of fine green silk, and Istabraq.) meaning, among the garments of the people of Paradise is silk and Sundus, which is a high quality silk. These garments will be shirts and similar clothing from the undergarments. Concerning Istabraq (velvet), from it there is that which has a glitter and shimmer to it, and it is that which is worn as outer clothes, just as is well-known in clothing.

﴿ وَحُلُّوٓاْ أَسَاوِرَ مِن فِضَّةٍ۬ ﴾

(They will be adorned with bracelets of silver,) This is a description of the righteous. In reference to those who will be near to Allah, then their description is as Allah says,

﴿ يُحَلَّوۡنَ فِيهَا مِنۡ أَسَاوِرَ مِن ذَهَبٍ۬ وَلُؤۡلُؤً۬ا‌ۖ وَلِبَاسُهُمۡ فِيهَا حَرِيرٌ۬ ﴾

(Wherein they will be adorned with bracelets of gold and pearls and their garments therein will be of silk.) (22:23) After Allah mentions the outward beautification with silk and ornaments, He then says,

﴿ وَسَقَٮٰهُمۡ رَبُّہُمۡ شَرَابً۬ا طَهُورًا ﴾

(and their Lord will give them a purifying drink.) meaning, it will purify their insides of envy, despise, hatred, harm and the other reprehensible character traits. This is just as we have recorded from the Commander of the believers, `Ali bin Abi Talib, that he said, "When the people of Paradise come to the Gate of Paradise, they will find two springs there. Then it will be as if they were inspired with what to do, so they will drink from one of them and Allah will remove whatever harmfulness there may be within them. Then they will bathe in the other spring and a glow of delight will run all over them. Thus, Allah informs of their outward condition and their inner beauty.'' Allah then says,

﴿ إِنَّ هَـٰذَا كَانَ لَكُمۡ جَزَآءً۬ وَكَانَ سَعۡيُكُم مَّشۡكُورًا ﴾

The Garments and Ornaments

Allah says,

﴿ عَـٰلِيَہُمۡ ثِيَابُ سُندُسٍ خُضۡرٌ۬ وَإِسۡتَبۡرَقٌ۬‌ۖ ﴾

(Their garments will be of fine green silk, and Istabraq.) meaning, among the garments of the people of Paradise is silk and Sundus, which is a high quality silk. These garments will be shirts and similar clothing from the undergarments. Concerning Istabraq (velvet), from it there is that which has a glitter and shimmer to it, and it is that which is worn as outer clothes, just as is well-known in clothing.

﴿ وَحُلُّوٓاْ أَسَاوِرَ مِن فِضَّةٍ۬ ﴾

(They will be adorned with bracelets of silver,) This is a description of the righteous. In reference to those who will be near to Allah, then their description is as Allah says,

﴿ يُحَلَّوۡنَ فِيهَا مِنۡ أَسَاوِرَ مِن ذَهَبٍ۬ وَلُؤۡلُؤً۬ا‌ۖ وَلِبَاسُهُمۡ فِيهَا حَرِيرٌ۬ ﴾

(Wherein they will be adorned with bracelets of gold and pearls and their garments therein will be of silk.) (22:23) After Allah mentions the outward beautification with silk and ornaments, He then says,

﴿ وَسَقَٮٰهُمۡ رَبُّہُمۡ شَرَابً۬ا طَهُورًا ﴾

(and their Lord will give them a purifying drink.) meaning, it will purify their insides of envy, despise, hatred, harm and the other reprehensible character traits. This is just as we have recorded from the Commander of the believers, `Ali bin Abi Talib, that he said, "When the people of Paradise come to the Gate of Paradise, they will find two springs there. Then it will be as if they were inspired with what to do, so they will drink from one of them and Allah will remove whatever harmfulness there may be within them. Then they will bathe in the other spring and a glow of delight will run all over them. Thus, Allah informs of their outward condition and their inner beauty.'' Allah then says,

﴿ إِنَّ هَـٰذَا كَانَ لَكُمۡ جَزَآءً۬ وَكَانَ سَعۡيُكُم مَّشۡكُورًا ﴾

(Verily, this is a reward for you, and your endeavor has been accepted.) meaning, this will be said to them in honor of them and as a goodness towards them. This is as Allah says,

﴿ كُلُواْ وَٱشۡرَبُواْ هَنِيٓـَٔۢا بِمَآ أَسۡلَفۡتُمۡ فِى ٱلۡأَيَّامِ ٱلۡخَالِيَةِ ﴾

(Eat and drink at ease for that which you have sent forth before you in days past!) (69:24) Allah also says,

﴿ وَنُودُوٓاْ أَن تِلۡكُمُ ٱلۡجَنَّةُ أُورِثۡتُمُوهَا بِمَا كُنتُمۡ تَعۡمَلُونَ ﴾

(And it will be cried out to them: "This is the Paradise which you have inherited for what you used to do.'') (7:43) Then Allah says,

﴿ وَكَانَ سَعۡيُكُم مَّشۡكُورًا ﴾

(And your endeavor has been accepted) meaning, `Allah the Exalted will reward you for a small amount (of deeds) with a large amount (of reward).'

﴿ إِنَّا نَحۡنُ نَزَّلۡنَا عَلَيۡكَ ٱلۡقُرۡءَانَ تَنزِيلاً۬ • فَٱصۡبِرۡ لِحُكۡمِ رَبِّكَ وَلَا تُطِعۡ مِنۡہُمۡ ءَاثِمًا أَوۡ كَفُورً۬ا • وَٱذۡكُرِ ٱسۡمَ رَبِّكَ بُكۡرَةً۬ وَأَصِيلاً۬ • وَمِنَ ٱلَّيۡلِ فَٱسۡجُدۡ لَهُ ۥ وَسَبِّحۡهُ لَيۡلاً۬ طَوِيلاً • إِنَّ هَـٰٓؤُلَآءِ يُحِبُّونَ ٱلۡعَاجِلَةَ وَيَذَرُونَ وَرَآءَهُمۡ يَوۡمً۬ا ثَقِيلاً۬ • نَّحۡنُ خَلَقۡنَـٰهُمۡ وَشَدَدۡنَآ أَسۡرَهُمۡ‌ۖ وَإِذَا شِئۡنَا بَدَّلۡنَآ أَمۡثَـٰلَهُمۡ تَبۡدِيلاً • إِنَّ هَـٰذِهِۦ تَذۡكِرَةٌ۬‌ۖ فَمَن شَآءَ ٱتَّخَذَ إِلَىٰ رَبِّهِۦ سَبِيلاً۬ • وَمَا تَشَآءُونَ إِلَّآ أَن يَشَآءَ ٱللَّهُ‌ۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ كَانَ عَلِيمًا حَكِيمً۬ا • يُدۡخِلُ مَن يَشَآءُ فِى رَحۡمَتِهِۦ‌ۚ وَٱلظَّـٰلِمِينَ أَعَدَّ لَهُمۡ عَذَابًا أَلِيمَۢا ﴾

(23. Verily, it is We Who have sent down the Qur'an to you by stages.) (24. Therefore be patient with constancy to the command of your Lord, and obey neither a sinner nor a disbeliever among them.) (25. And remember the Name of your Lord every morning and afternoon.) (26. And during the night, prostrate yourself to Him, and glorify Him a long night through.) (27.
