Tafsir

Scholarly commentary explaining a verse — its context, its meaning and how the scholars have understood it.

Maryam 19:76

Word by word

وَيَزِيدُ ٱللَّهُ ٱلَّذِينَ ٱهْتَدَوْا۟ هُدًى ۗ وَٱلْبَـٰقِيَـٰتُ ٱلصَّـٰلِحَـٰتُ خَيْرٌ عِندَ رَبِّكَ ثَوَابًا وَخَيْرٌ مَّرَدًّا

And Allāh increases those who were guided, in guidance, and the enduring good deeds are better to your Lord for reward and better for recourse.

Ibn Kathir (Abridged)

Hafiz Ibn Kathir

Increasing Guidance of Those Who are guided

After Allah mentions the extended time and respite that is allowed to those who are in misguidance, increasing them in misguidance, He informs of the increase in guidance of those who are rightly guided. Similarly He says,وَإِذَا مَآ أُنزِلَتْ سُورَةٌ فَمِنْهُمْ مَّن يَقُولُ أَيُّكُمْ زَادَتْهُ هَـذِهِ إِيمَـناً(And whenever there comes down a Surah, some of them say: "Which of you has had his faith increased by it") 9:124 And the following Ayah also shows this. Concerning Allah's statement,وَالْبَـقِيَاتُ الصَّـلِحَاتُ(And the righteous good deeds that last) Its explanation has already preceded in Surat Al-Kahf, along with a lengthy discussion concerning it and the related Hadiths.خَيْرٌ عِندَ رَبِّكَ ثَوَابًا((they) are better with your Lord for reward.) meaning the recompense and reward.وَخَيْرٌ مَّرَدّاً(and better for resort.) meaning in the final outcome, the result for its doer.

Ma'arif al-Qur'an

Mufti Muhammad Shafi

وَالْبَاقِيَاتُ الصَّالِحَاتُ خَيْرٌ‌ عِندَ رَ‌بِّكَ ثَوَابًا وَخَيْرٌ‌ مَّرَ‌دًّا''And the everlasting virtues are better with your Lord in respect of reward and better in their return". - 19:76These words have been interpreted differently by different scholars as has been explained at some length in the commentary of Sarah Al-Kahf (سورۃ کھف). The more plausible interpretation, however, is that the words refer to submission to the commands of Allah and to good deeds, the benefits of which are everlasting.مَّرَ‌دًّا by means consequences, and the sense of this verse is that good deeds alone are the real wealth whose reward is great and whose result is eternal peace.

Tafsir Muyassar

Ministry of Islamic Affairs, Saudi Arabia

ويزيد الله عباده الذين اهتدوا لدينه هدى على هداهم بما يتجدد لهم من الإيمان بفرائض الله، والعمل بها. والأعمالُ الباقيات الصالحات خير ثوابًا عند الله في الآخرة، وخير مرجعًا وعاقبة.

Tafsir Ibn Kathir

Hafiz Ibn Kathir

لما ذكر الله تعالى إمداد من هو في الضلالة فيما هو فيه وزيادته على ما هو عليه ، أخبر بزيادة المهتدين هدى كما قال تعالى : ( وإذا ما أنزلت سورة فمنهم من يقول أيكم زادته هذه إيمانا فأما الذين آمنوا فزادتهم إيمانا وهم يستبشرون وأما الذين في قلوبهم مرض فزادتهم رجسا إلى رجسهم وماتوا وهم كافرون ) [ التوبة : 124 ، 125 ] .وقوله : ( والباقيات الصالحات ) قد تقدم تفسيرها ، والكلام عليها ، وإيراد الأحاديث المتعلقة بها في سورة " الكهف " .( خير عند ربك ثوابا ) أي : جزاء ( وخير مردا ) أي : عاقبة ومردا على صاحبها .وقال عبد الرزاق : أخبرنا عمر بن راشد ، عن يحيى بن أبي كثير ، عن أبي سلمة بن عبد الرحمن قال : جلس رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم ذات يوم ، فأخذ عودا يابسا فحط ورقه ثم قال : " إن قول : لا إله إلا الله ، والله أكبر ، والحمد لله ، وسبحان الله ، تحط الخطايا كما تحط ورق هذه الشجرة الريح ، خذهن يا أبا الدرداء قبل أن يحال بينك وبينهن ، هن الباقيات الصالحات ، وهن من كنوز الجنة " قال أبو سلمة : فكان أبو الدرداء إذا ذكر هذا الحديث قال : لأهللن الله ، ولأكبرن الله ، ولأسبحن الله ، حتى إذا رآني الجاهل حسب أني مجنونوهذا ظاهره أنه مرسل ، ولكن قد يكون من رواية أبي سلمة ، عن أبي الدرداء ، والله أعلم .

وهكذا وقع في سنن ابن ماجه ، من حديث أبي معاوية ، عن عمر بن راشد ، عن يحيى ، عن أبي سلمة ، عن أبي الدرداء ، فذكر نحوه
