Translations

Pickthall — Mohammed Marmaduke William Pickthall

That which ye have wasteth away, and that which Allah hath remaineth. And verily We shall pay those who are steadfast a recompense in proportion to the best of what they used to do.

Yusuf Ali — Abdullah Yusuf Ali

What is with you must vanish: what is with Allah will endure. And We will certainly bestow, on those who patiently persevere, their reward according to the best of their actions.

تفسير ابن كثير — Ismail ibn Kathir

( ما عندكم ينفد ) أي : يفرغ وينقضي ، فإنه - إلى أجل - معدود محصور مقدر متناه . ( وما عند الله باق ) أي : وثوابه لكم في الجنة باق لا انقطاع ولا نفاد له فإنه دائم لا يحول ولا يزول ، ( ولنجزين الذين صبروا أجرهم بأحسن ما كانوا يعملون ) قسم من الرب - عز وجل متلقى باللام - أنه يجازي الصابرين بأحسن أعمالهم ، أي : ويتجاوز عن سيئها .
