This is because Allah says, أُوْلَـئِكَ هُمْ خَيْرُ الْبَرِيَّةِ ( They are the best of creatures. ) Then Allah says, جَزَآؤُهُمْ عِندَ رَبِّهِمْ ( Their reward with their Lord ) meaning, on the Day of Judgement. جَنَّـتُ عَدْنٍ تَجْرِى مِنْ تَحْتِهَا الاٌّنْهَـرُ خَـلِدِينَ فِيهَآ أَبَداً ( is Eternal Gardens underneath which rivers flow.
They will abide therein forever, ) meaning, having no end, no break and no conclusion. رِّضِىَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمْ وَرَضُواْ عَنْهُ ( Allah will be pleased with them, and they well-pleased with Him. ) The condition of Him being pleased with them is more illustri- ous than all of the everlasting delights that they will be given. وَرَضُواْ عَنْهُ ( and they well-pleased with Him. ) Due to the comprehensive favors He has given them.
Then Allah says, ذَلِكَ لِمَنْ خَشِىَ رَبَّهُ ( That is for him who fears his Lord. ) meaning, this is the reward that will be attained by those who revere Allah and fear Him as He deserves to be feared.
This is the person who worships Allah as if he sees Him, and he knows that even though he does not see Him, indeed Allah sees him.
Imam Ahmad recorded from Abu Hurayrah that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said,
«أَلَا أُخْبِرُكُمْ بِخَيْرِ الْبَرِيَّةِ؟»
( Shall I not inform you of the best of creation ) They said, "Of course, O Messenger of Allah!" He said,
«رَجُلٌ آخِذٌ بِعِنَانِ فَرَسِهِ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ، كُلَّمَا كَانَتْ هَيْعَةٌ اسْتَوَى عَلَيْهِ.
أَلَا أُخْبِرُكُمْ بِخَيْرِ الْبَرِيَّة»
( A man who takes the reins of his horse in the way of Allah, and whenever there is a fearful cry from the enemy, he climbs upon it.
Shall I not inform you of the best of creation ) They said, "Of course, O Messenger of Allah ﷺ!" He said,
«رَجُلٌ فِي ثُلَّةٍ مِنْ غَنَمِهِ، يُقِيمُ الصَّلَاةَ وَيُؤْتِي الزَّكَاةَ.
أَلَا أُخْبِرُكُمْ بِشَرِّ الْبَرِيَّةِ؟»
( A man who has a flock of sheep and he establishes the prayer and gives the obligatory charity.
Shall I not inform you of the worst of creation ) They said, "Of course." He said,
«الَّذِي يُسْأَلُ بِاللهِ وَلَا يُعْطِي بِه»
( The person who is asked by Allah and he does not give by Him. ) This is the end of the Tafsir of Surat Lam Yakun ( Al-Bayyinah ), and all praise and thanks are due to Allah.
