"[Such believers are] the repentant, the worshippers, the praisers [of Allāh], the travelers [for His cause], those who bow and prostrate [in prayer], those who enjoin what is right and forbid what is wrong, and those who observe the limits [set by] Allāh. And give good tidings to the believers."

"[The believers are] those who turn to God in repentance; who worship and praise Him; who bow down and pros-trate themselves; who order what is good and forbid what is wrong and who observe God’s limits. Give glad news to such believers."

Pickthall (classic)+

"(Triumphant) are those who turn repentant (to Allah), those who serve (Him), those who praise (Him), those who fast, those who bow down, those who fall prostrate (in worship), those who enjoin the right and who forbid the wrong and those who keep the limits (ordained) of Allah - And give glad tidings to believers!"

Yusuf Ali (classic)+

"Those that turn (to Allah) in repentance; that serve Him, and praise Him; that wander in devotion to the cause of Allah,: that bow down and prostrate themselves in prayer; that enjoin good and forbid evil; and observe the limit set by Allah;- (These do rejoice). So proclaim the glad tidings to the Believers."

This is the description of the believers from whom Allah has purchased their souls and wealth, who have these beautiful andhonorable qualities,

This is the description of the believers from whom Allah has purchased their souls and wealth, who have these beautiful and honorable qualities,
التَّـئِبُونَ

(who repent) from all sins and shun all evils,

الْعَـبِدُونَ

(who worship), their Lord and preserve the acts of worship that include statements and actions. Praising Allah is among the best statements. This is why Allah said next,

الْحَـمِدُونَ

(who praise (Him)). Fasting is among the best actions, involving abstaining from the delights of food, drink and sexual intercourse, this is the meaning hereby,

السَّـئِحُونَ

(As-Sa'ihun (who fast)) 9: 112. Allah also described the Prophet's wives that they are,

سَـئِحَـتٍ

(Sa'ihat) 66:5, meaning, they fast. As for prostrating and bowing down, they are acts of the prayer,

الرَكِعُونَ السَّـجِدونَ

(who bow down, who prostrate themselves,) These believers also benefit Allah's creation and direct them to His obedience by ordaining righteousness and forbidding evil. They have knowledge about what should be performed and what should be shunned. This includes abiding by Allah's limits in knowledge and action, meaning, what He allowed and what He prohibited. Therefore, they worship the True Lord and advise creation. This is why Allah said next,

وَبَشِّرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ

(And give glad tidings to the believers.) since faith includes all of this, and the supreme success is for those who have faith.

Кто же относится к тем верующим, которые заслужили благую весть о Райских садах и почестях? Словно отвечая на этот вопрос, Всевышний Аллах сообщил о качествах этих правоверных. Они раскаиваются в совершенных прегрешениях и постоянно соблюдают условия своих покаяний. Они поклоняются Аллаху, выполняют Его повеления, регулярно выполняют обязательные или желательные предписания религии, и благодаря этим качествам они являются настоящими рабами Аллаха. А наряду с этим они восхваляют своего Господа в беде и в радости, когда им легко и когда им трудно. Они признают все зримые и незримые блага, которыми их облагодетельствовал Господь. Они славословят Аллаху, когда поминают Его милости и когда поминают Его самого в различные часы дня и ночи. Еще одно из их качеств выражается арабским словом «сийаха». Согласно одному толкованию, это означает, что они постятся. Согласно другому толкованию, это означает, что они отправляются в поездки для приобретения знаний. Согласно третьему толкованию, это означает, что они постоянно стремятся всей душой познать Аллаха, возлюбить Его и обратиться к Нему лицом. Согласно наиболее достоверному мнению, речь здесь идет о любых поездках с целью приблизиться к Аллаху. Это может быть поездка с целью совершить хадж или малое паломничество, принять участие в священной войне, приобрести знания или навестить родственников. А наряду с этим праведники часто совершают намаз, повторяя поясные и земные поклоны, призывают людей выполнять обязательные и добровольные предписания религии, удерживают их от всего, что запретили Аллах и Его посланник. Они также соблюдают Его ограничения и изучают законы, которые Он ниспослал Своему посланнику, да благословит его Аллах и приветствует. Они различают между Божьими запретами и предписаниями для того, чтобы выполнять одни предписания и сторониться других. Аллах не конкретизировал благую весть, которую заслужили эти правоверные. А это значит, что им можно сообщить радостную весть о любом материальном и духовном вознаграждении, которое уготовано правоверным при жизни на земле и после смерти. Это также означает, что радостная весть распространяется на всех верующих. Однако ее содержание отличается в зависимости от деяний и силы веры правоверных.

Maʿārif al-Qur'ān

Mufti Shafi Usmani, English

+

The last verse (112) which begins with the words: التَّائِبُونَ الْعَابِدُونَ " (They are) those who repent, those who worship...) describes the attributes of the same believers about whom it was said earlier that Allah has bought their lives and their wealth from the believers, against which Paradise shall be for them. Though, the verse was revealed as relating to a particular group of participants in the Bai'atu al-'Aqabah, but the sense of the verse covers all mujahidin in the way of Allah. As for the list of their attributes which opens with: التَّائِبُونَ (those who repent), they are not there as a condition, because the promise of Paradise has been made for Jihad in the way of Allah, in an absolute sense. The purpose behind the delineation of these attributes is to stress that those who deserve Paradise do have such attributes - as was specially the case with the noble Companions ؓ who were a party to Bai'atu al-'Aqabah.

The word: السَّائِحُونَ (as-sa'ihun: translated literally as ` those who journey' ), according to the majority of commentators, means those who fast صَّائِمِونَ (sa'imun). Actually, this word has been derived from: سِیَاحہ (siyahah: journey, pilgrimage). Before Islam, siyahah was taken to be an act of worship in the Christian religion that meant leaving home for the sake of worship. Islam declared it to be monasticism, and prohibited it. It was replaced with fasting as an act of worship. The reason is that siyahah taught disengagement from worldly life while fasting taught that one should abstain from worldly desires for a limited period of time living at home. It is on the same basis that Jihad too has been equated with siyahah in some reports. Ibn Majah, Hakim and Baihaqi have authentically reported that the Holy Prophet ﷺ said: سِیَاحَۃُ اُمَّتِی اَلجِھَادُ فِی سَبِیلِ اللہِ (The siyahah of my ummah is Jihad in the way of Allah).

Sayyidna ` Abdullah ibn ` Abbas ؓ has said that سَآیٔحِین (sa'ihin: those who journey) in the Qur'an means: صَّائِمِينَ (sa'imin: those who fast). Explaining سَآیٔحِین (as-sa'ihin: those who journey), ` Ikrimah said, ` they are students who leave their homes to seek religious knowledge.' (Mazhari)

At this place, seven attributes of believing mujahidin have been described as those who repent, those who worship, those who praise Allah, those who journey, those who bow in رُکُوع ruku`, those who prostrate in سَجدَہ sajdah, those who bid the Fair and forbid the Unfair. After having enumerated these seven attributes, the eighth attribute was put as: الْحَافِظُونَ لِحُدُودِ اللَّـهِ ` those who preserve the limits prescribed by Allah.' Actually, this expression is an embodiment of all attributes mentioned earlier. In other words, the details given in those seven attributes have been eloquently reduced to one small sentence which means that they are committed to the limits set by Allah, that is, they obey, adhere to and protect the injunctions of the Shari’ ah of Islam.

At the end of the verse (112), it was said: وَبَشِّرِ‌ الْمُؤْمِنِين (And give the good news to the believers). It means that the Prophet of Islam should convey to believers who have the attributes mentioned above the good news of blessings nobody could ever imagine, nor could it be explained in words, nor has anyone heard about it from any source. The reference is to the ultimate blessings of Paradise.
