Tafsir

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

Al-Ma'idah 5:85

Word by word

فَأَثَـٰبَهُمُ ٱللَّهُ بِمَا قَالُوا۟ جَنَّـٰتٍ تَجْرِى مِن تَحْتِهَا ٱلْأَنْهَـٰرُ خَـٰلِدِينَ فِيهَا ۚ وَذَٰلِكَ جَزَآءُ ٱلْمُحْسِنِينَ

So Allāh rewarded them for what they said with gardens [in Paradise] beneath which rivers flow, wherein they abide eternally. And that is the reward of doers of good.

فجزاهم الله بما قالوا من الاعتزاز بإيمانهم بالإسلام، وطلبهم أن يكونوا مع القوم الصالحين، جنات تجري من تحت قصورها وأشجارها الأنهار، ماكثين فيها لا يخرجون منها، ولا يُحوَّلون عنها، وذلك جزاء إحسانهم في القول والعمل.
