Quran 13:22 Tafsir Ibn Kathir
Qualities of the Blessed Ones, which will lead to Paradise
Allah states that those who have these good qualities, will earn the good, final home: victory and triumph in this life and the Hereafter,
الَّذِينَ يُوفُونَ بِعَهْدِ اللَّهِ وَلاَ يِنقُضُونَ الْمِيثَـقَ
( Those who fulfill the covenant of Allah and break not the trust. ) They are nothing like the hypocrites who when one of them makes a covenant, he breaks it; if he disputes, he is most quarrelsome; if he speaks, he lies; and if he is entrusted, he betrays his trust.
Allah said next,
وَالَّذِينَ يَصِلُونَ مَآ أَمَرَ اللَّهُ بِهِ أَن يُوصَلَ
( And those who join that which Allah has commanded to be joined ) they are good to their relatives and do not sever the bond of kinship.
They are also kind to the poor and the needy and generous in nature,
وَيَخْشَوْنَ رَبَّهُمْ
( and fear their Lord ), in what they do or do not do of actions and statements.
They remember that Allah is watching during all of this and are afraid of His terrifying reckoning in the Hereafter.
Therefore, all their affairs are on the straight path and correct, whether they are active or idle, and in all of their affairs, including those that affect others,
وَالَّذِينَ صَبَرُواْ ابْتِغَاءَ وَجْهِ رَبِّهِمْ
( And those who remain patient, seeking their Lord's Face, ) They observe patience while staying away from sins and evil deeds, doing so while dedicating themselves to the service of their Lord the Exalted and Most Honored and seeking His pleasure and generous reward,
وَأَقَامُواْ الصَّلَوةَ
( and perform the Salah ), preserving its limits, times, bowing, prostration and humbleness, according to the established limits and rulings of the religion,
وَأَنْفَقُواْ مِمَّا رَزَقْنَاهُمْ
( and spend out of that which We have bestowed on them, ) They spend on those whom they are obliged to spend on them, such as their spouses, relatives and the poor and needy in general,
سِرًّا وَعَلاَنِيَةً
( secretly and openly, ) They spend during all conditions and times, whether during the night or the day, secretly and openly,
وَيَدْرَءُونَ بِالْحَسَنَةِ السَّيِّئَةَ
( and repel evil with good ) they resist evil with good conduct.
When the people harm them they face their harm with good patience, forbearing, forgiveness and pardon.
Allah said in another Ayah,
وَلاَ تَسْتَوِى الْحَسَنَةُ وَلاَ السَّيِّئَةُ ادْفَعْ بِالَّتِى هِىَ أَحْسَنُ فَإِذَا الَّذِى بَيْنَكَ وَبَيْنَهُ عَدَاوَةٌ كَأَنَّهُ وَلِىٌّ حَمِيمٌ - وَمَا يُلَقَّاهَا إِلاَّ الَّذِينَ صَبَرُواْ وَمَا يُلَقَّاهَآ إِلاَّ ذُو حَظِّ عَظِيمٍ
( Repel (the evil ) with one which is better, then verily he, between whom and you there was enmity, ( will become ) as though he was a close friend.
But none is granted it except those who are patient - and none is granted it except the owner of the great portion in this world.)41:34-35 This is why Allah states here that those who have these good qualities, the blessed ones, will earn the final home, which He explained next,
جَنَّـتِ عَدْنٍ
( `Adn Gardens ), where, `Adn, indicates continuous residence; they will reside in the gardens of everlasting life.
Allah said next,
وَمَنْ صَلَحَ مِنْ ءَابَائِهِمْ وَأَزْوَجِهِمْ وَذُرِّيَّاتِهِمْ
( and (also ) those who acted righteously from among their fathers, and their wives, and their offspring.) Allah will gather them with their loved ones, from among their fathers, family members and offspring, those who are righteous and deserve to enter Paradise, so that their eyes are comforted by seeing them.
He will also elevate the grade of those who are lower, to the grades of those who are higher, a favor from Him out of His kindness, without decreasing the grade of those who are higher up ( in Paradise ).
Allah said in another Ayah,
وَالَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ وَاتَّبَعَتْهُمْ ذُرِّيَّتُهُم بِإِيمَـنٍ أَلْحَقْنَا بِهِمْ ذُرِّيَّتَهُمْ
( And those who believe and whose offspring follow them in faith: to them shall We join their offspring. ) 52:21 Allah said next,
جَنَّـتُ عَدْنٍ يَدْخُلُونَهَا وَمَنْ صَلَحَ مِنْ ءَابَائِهِمْ وَأَزْوَجِهِمْ وَذُرِّيَّاتِهِمْ وَالمَلَـئِكَةُ يَدْخُلُونَ عَلَيْهِمْ مِّن كُلِّ بَابٍ - سَلَـمٌ عَلَيْكُم بِمَا صَبَرْتُمْ فَنِعْمَ عُقْبَى الدَّارِ
( And angels shall enter unto them from every gate (saying ): "Salamun `Alaykum ( peace be upon you ) for you persevered in patience! Excellent indeed is the final home!") The angels will enter on them from every direction congratulating them for entering Paradise.
The angels will welcome them with the Islamic greeting and commend them for earning Allah's closeness and rewards, as well as, being admitted into the Dwelling of Peace, neighbors to the honorable Messengers, the Prophets and the truthful believers.
Imam Ahmad recorded that `Abdullah bin `Amr bin Al-`As, may Allah be pleased with them both, narrated that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said,
«هَلْ تَدْرُونَ أَوَّلَ مَنْ يَدْخُلُ الْجَنَّةَ مِنْ خَلْقِ اللهِ؟»
( Do you know who among Allah's creation will enter Paradise first ) They said, "Allah and His Messenger have more knowledge." He said,
«أَوَّلُ مَنْ يَدْخُلُ الْجَنَّةَ مِنْ خَلْقِ اللهِ الْفُقَرَاءُ الْمُهَاجِرُونَ الَّذِينَ تُسَدُّ بِهِمُ الثُّغُورُ، وَتُتَّقَى بِهِمُ الْمَكَارِهُ، وَيَمُوتُ أَحَدُهُمْ وَحَاجَتُهُ فِي صَدْرِهِ، لَا يَسْتَطِيعُ لَهَا قَضَاءً، فَيَقُولُ اللهُ تَعَالَى لِمَنْ يَشَاءُ مِنْ مَلَائِكَتِهِ: ائْتُوهُمْ فَحَيُّوهُمْ، فَتَقُولُ الْمَلَائِكَةُ: نَحْنُ سُكَّانُ سَمَائِكَ، وَخِيرَتُكَ مِنْ خَلْقِكَ، أَفَتَأْمُرُنَا أَنْ نَأْتِي هؤُلَاءِ وَنُسَلِّمَ عَلَيْهِمْ؟ فَيَقُولُ: إِنَّهُمْ كَانُوا عِبَادًا يَعْبُدُونَنِي لَا يُشْرِكُونَ بِي شَيْئًا، وَتُسَدُّ بِهِمُ الثُّغُورُ، وَتُتَّقَى بِهِمُ الْمَكَارِهُ، وَيَمُوتُ أَحَدُهُمْ وَحَاجَتُهُ فِي صَدْرِهِ لَا يَسْتَطِيعُ لَهَا قَضَاءً قَالَ : فَتَأْتِيهِمُ الْمَلَائِكَةُ عِنْدَ ذَلِكَ فَيَدْخُلُونَ عَلَيْهِمْ مِنْ كُلِّ بَاب»
( The first among Allah's creation to enter Paradise are the poor emigrants (in Allah's cause ) with whom the outposts ( of the land ) are secured and the various afflictions are warded off.
One of them would die while his need is still in his chest, because he was unable to satisfy it himself.
Allah will say to whom He will among His angels, "Go to them and welcome them with the Salam." The angels will say, "We are the residence of Your heaven and the best of Your creation, do You command us to go to them and welcome them with the Salam" Allah will say, "They are My servants who worshipped Me and did not associate anyone or anything with Me in worship.
With them, the outposts were secured and the afflictions were warded off.
One of them would die while his need is in his chest, unable to satisfy it." So the angels will go to them from every gate ( of Paradise ),) saying,
سَلَـمٌ عَلَيْكُم بِمَا صَبَرْتُمْ فَنِعْمَ عُقْبَى الدَّارِ
( Salamun `Alaykum (peace be upon you ) for you persevered in patience! Excellent indeed is the final home!)"
وَالَّذِينَ يَنقُضُونَ عَهْدَ اللَّهِ مِن بَعْدِ مِيثَـقِهِ وَيَقْطَعُونَ مَآ أَمَرَ اللَّهُ بِهِ أَن يُوصَلَ وَيُفْسِدُونَ فِى الاٌّرْضِ أُوْلَـئِكَ لَهُمُ اللَّعْنَةُ وَلَهُمْ سُوءُ الدَّارِ
Tafseer Tafheem-ul-Quran Syed Abu-al-A'la Maududi
(13:22) They show fortitude to win the approval of their Lord. *39 They establish Salat and expend openly and secretly out of what We have bestowed upon them and ward off evil with good. *40
And those who are patient, seeking the meaning
*39) " They show fortitude ": they remain self-possessed and keep under control all their desires and lusts and do not transgress the bounds, and they do not yield to temptations to disobey their Lord in order to gain advantages and gratify their desires: nay, they bear with calm courage and endurance losses and afflictions that are inevitable in the obedience of AIIah.
If we consider the life of a believer from this point of view, we shall find that the whole of his life is the life of endurance and fortitude, for he keeps himself under control in very trying circumstances in this world in the hope of winning the approval of his Lord and in the expectation of gaining permanent benefits in the Hereafter: so he fights with fortitude every temptation to sin.
*40) That is, " If others do evil to them, they do not do evil in return but do good instead: they do not fight mischief with mischief but with virtue.
Howsoever unjust one may be to them, they do justice in every case.
Likewise, they remain truthful and honest even in the cast of those who tell lies against them and show dishonesty towards them.
"
There is a Tradition of the Holy Prophet to the same effect: " You should not imitate others in your conduct towards other people, for it is wrong to say, 'We will do goodness to others, if they do goodness to us and we will do injustice to them if they are unjust to us.' ( On the other hand, ) you should follow this principle: if others do goodness to you, you should do goodness to them, but if they do evil to you, you should not be unjust to them' .
"
There is another Tradition, which begins with the words: " My Lord has bidden me to do nine things.
Four of these things are, `I should behave justly towards everyone whether I am pleased or offended with him.
I should render the right even of the one who violates my rights.
I should pay the dues even of the one who depraves me of my due.
I should forgive the one who has been unjust to me' .
" There is yet another Tradition to the same effect: " Don't be faithless even to the one who has been faithless to you. " There is also a saying of Hadrat 'Umar that amounts to the same thing.
" The best way of punishing the one, who does not fear God in his dealings with you, is that you should fear God in your dealings with him.
"

Tanwîr al-Miqbâs min Tafsîr Ibn ‘Abbâs
( Such as persevere ) in fulfilling the commands of Allah and in bearing misfortune ( in seeking their Lord’s Countenance ) in pursuit of their Lord’s good pleasure ( and are regular in prayer ) and perform the five daily prayers ( and spend of that which We bestow upon them ) and give alms from that which We have given them ( secretly ) such that none knows of it except Allah ( and openly ) in front of people, ( and overcome evil with good ) they face evil speech with good speech. ( Theirs ) the reward of those who fit the description above in His saying: ( But only men of understanding and overcome evil with good ) to these people ( will be the sequel of the (heavenly ) Home) i.e. Paradise.
Muhammad Taqiud-Din alHilali
And those who remain patient, seeking their Lord's Countenance, perform As-Salat (Iqamat-as-Salat), and spend out of that which We have bestowed on them, secretly and openly, and defend evil with good, for such there is a good end;
We try our best to translate, keeping in mind the Italian saying: "Traduttore, traditore", which means: "Translation is a betrayal of the original text".
