Tafsīr · classical commentary

Ibn Kathir

Abridged English, public domain

After Allah mentioned the sins of the hypocrites, He praised the faithful believers and described their reward in the Hereafter,

لَـكِنِ الرَّسُولُ وَالَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ مَعَهُ جَـهَدُواْ

(But the Messenger and those who believed with him strove hard and fought) until the end of these two Ayat 9:88-89. This describes the qualities, as well as, the reward of faithful believers. Allah said,

وَأُوْلَـئِكَ لَهُمُ الْخَيْرَاتُ

(Such are they for whom are the good things), in the Hereafter, in the gardens of Al-Firdaws and the high grades.

Tafsir Saʿdi

English translation, public domain

Горе тем, которые не отдают предпочтение тому, чему отдали предпочтение эти праведники! Горе тем, которые нанесли урон своей вере и погубили жизнь на земле и после смерти! Это откровение похоже на следующий аят: «Скажи: “Веруйте в него (Коран) или не веруйте! Воистину, когда его читают тем, кому прежде было даровано знание, они падают ниц, касаясь земли своими подбородками”» (17:107); «Это - те, кому Мы даровали Писание, мудрость и пророчество. И даже если они не уверуют в это, Мы уже вверили это другим людям, которые не станут неверующими» (6:89).

Maʿārif al-Qur'ān

Mufti Shafi Usmani, English

The expression: اُولُوا الطَّولِ (ulu 'at-caul: translated as ` the capable ones' ) (86) is not for particularization. Instead, it serves a purpose. It tells that there were others too, the ones not so capable. And the incapable ones had, at least, some obvious excuse to stay behind.
