Quran 95:6 Tafsir Ibn Kathir
Which was revealed in Makkah
The Recitation of Surat At-Tin in the Prayer while traveling
Malik and Shu`bah narrated from `Adi bin Thabit, who narrated that Al-Bara' bin `Azib said, "The Prophet used to recite in one of his Rak`ahs while traveling `At-Tin waz-Zaytun' ( Surat At-Tin ), and I have never heard anyone with a nicer voice or recitation than him." The Group has recorded this Hadith in their books.
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَـنِ الرَّحِيمِ
In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
The Explanation of At-Tin and what comes after it
Al-`Awfi reported from Ibn `Abbas that what is meant by At-Tin is the Masjid of Nuh that was built upon Mount Al-Judi.
Mujahid said, "It is this fig that you have."
وَالزَّيْتُونِ
( By Az-Zaytun. ) Ka`b Al-Ahbar, Qatadah, Ibn Zayd and others have said, "It is the Masjid of Jerusalem ( Bayt Al-Maqdis )." Mujahid and `Ikrimah said, "It is this olive which you press ( to extract the oil )."
وَطُورِ سِينِينَ
( By Tur Sinin. ) Ka`b Al-Ahbar and several others have said, "It is the mountain upon which Allah spoke to Musa."
وَهَـذَا الْبَلَدِ الاٌّمِينِ
( By this city of security. ) meaning Makkah.
This was said by Ibn `Abbas, Mujahid, `Ikrimah, Al-Hasan, Ibrahim An-Nakha`i, Ibn Zayd and Ka`b Al-Ahbar.
There is no difference of opinion about this.
Some of the Imams have said that these are three different places, and that Allah sent a Messenger to each of them from the Leading Messengers, who delivered the Great Codes of Law.
The first place is that of the fig and the olive, which was Jerusalem, where Allah sent `Isa bin Maryam.
The second place is Mount Sinin, which is Mount Sinai where Allah spoke to Musa bin `Imran.
The third place is Makkah, and it is the city of security where whoever enters is safe.
It is also the city in which Muhammad was sent.
They have said that these three places are mentioned at the end of the Tawrah.
The verse says, "Allah has come from Mount Sinai - meaning the one upon which Allah spoke to Musa bin `Imran; and shined from Sa`ir - meaning the mountain of Jerusalem from which Allah sent `Isa; and appeared from the mountains of Faran - meaning the mountains of Makkah from which Allah sent `Isa; and appeared from the mountains of Faran - meaning the mountains of Makkah from which Allah sent Muhammad ." Thus, He mentioned them in order to inform about them based upon their order of existence in time.
This is why He swore by a noble place, then by a nobler place, and then by a place that is the nobler than both of them.
Man becoming Lowly even though He was created in the Best Form
and the Result of that Allah says,
لَقَدْ خَلَقْنَا الإِنسَـنَ فِى أَحْسَنِ تَقْوِيمٍ
( Verily, We created man in the best form. ) This is the subject being sworn about, and it is that Allah created man in the best image and form, standing upright with straight limbs that He beautified.
ثُمَّ رَدَدْنَـهُ أَسْفَلَ سَـفِلِينَ
( Then We reduced him to the lowest of the low. ) meaning, to the Hellfire.
This was said by Mujahid, Abu Al-`Aliyah, Al-Hasan, Ibn Zayd and others.
Then after this attractiveness and beauty, their destination will be to the Hell-fire if they disobey Allah and belie the Messengers.
This is why Allah says,
إِلاَّ الَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ وَعَمِلُواْ الصَّـلِحَـتِ
( Save those who believe and do righteous deeds. ) Some have said,
ثُمَّ رَدَدْنَـهُ أَسْفَلَ سَـفِلِينَ
( Then We reduced him to the lowest of the low. ) "This means decrepit old age." This has been reported from Ibn `Abbas and `Ikrimah.
`Ikrimah even said, "Whoever gathers the Qur'an ( i.e., he memorizes it all ), then he will not be returned to decrepit old age." Ibn Jarir preferred this explanation.
Even if this was the meaning, it would not be correct to exclude the believers from this, because some of them are also overcome by the senility of old age.
Thus, the meaning here is what we have already mentioned ( i.e., the first view ), which is similar to Allah's saying,
وَالْعَصْرِ - إِنَّ الإِنسَـنَ لَفِى خُسْرٍ إِلاَّ الَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ وَعَمِلُواْ الصَّـلِحَـتِ
( By Al-`Asr.
Verily man is in loss, except those who believe and perform righteous deeds. ) ( 103:1-3 ) Concerning Allah's statement,
فَلَهُمْ أَجْرٌ غَيْرُ مَمْنُونٍ
( Then they shall have a reward without end. ) meaning, that will not end, as we have mentioned previously.
Then Allah says,
فَمَا يُكَذِّبُكَ
( Then what causes you to deny ) meaning, `O Son of Adam!'
بَعْدُ بِالدِّينِ
( after this the Recompense ) meaning, `in the recompense that will take place in the Hereafter.
For indeed you know the beginning, and you know that He Who is able to begin ( the creation ) is also able to repeat it which is easier.
So what is it that makes you deny the final return in the Hereafter after you have known this' Then Allah says,
أَلَيْسَ اللَّهُ بِأَحْكَمِ الْحَـكِمِينَ
( Is not the Allah the best of judges ) meaning, `is He not the best of judges, Who does not oppress or do any injustice to anyone' And from His justice is that He will establish the Judgement, and He will give retribution to the person who was wronged in this life against whoever wronged him.
This is the end of the Tafsir of Surat wat-Tin waz-Zaytun and all praise and thanks are due to Allah.
Tafseer Tafheem-ul-Quran Syed Abu-al-A'la Maududi
(95:6) except those who have faith and do righteous deeds. Theirs is a never ending reward. *5
Except for those who believe and do meaning
*5) The commentators who have taken asfala safilin to imply the state of extreme old age when man loses his sense and reason, interpret this verse to mean: " But the people who in the prime and strength of their age believed and did righteous deeds would have in this old age too the same righteous deeds credited for them and will be rewarded accordingly.
No reduction will be made in their rewards on the ground that they could not perform those righteous deeds in that period of Iife ".
And the commentators who construe reversal to safilin to imply being cast into the lowest stage of Hell interpret this verse to mean: " the people also believed and did righteous deeds are an exception: they will not be reversed to this stage but they will have a reward unending and unfailing. " But, neither of these meanings is relevant to the reasoning made in this Surah to justify the judgement of the Hereafter.
In our opinion the verse means: " Just as it is a common observation in human society that the morally degraded are made the lowest of the low, so this also is an observation of every age that those who believed in God, the Hereafter and the Prophethood and who moulded their lives after righteousness and piety, remained secure from this degeneration and remained consistent with the best mould and nature that Allah had created them on.
Therefore, they are worthy of the unending reward, i.e.
the reward which will neither be less than what they deserve, nor will it ever be cut off.

Tanwîr al-Miqbâs min Tafsîr Ibn ‘Abbâs
( Save those who believe ) in Muhammad ( pbuh ) and the Qur’an ( and do good works ) and do acts of obedience in private between themselves and their Lord, ( and theirs is a reward unfailing ) their reward is undiminished and unspoilt, good deeds will still be written for them even in old age and after they die.
Muhammad Taqiud-Din alHilali
Save those who believe (in Islamic Monotheism) and do righteous deeds, then they shall have a reward without end (Paradise).
We try our best to translate, keeping in mind the Italian saying: "Traduttore, traditore", which means: "Translation is a betrayal of the original text".
