What concern hath Allah for your punishment if ye are thankful (for His mercies) and believe (in Him)? Allah was ever Responsive, Aware.

What can Allah gain by your punishment, if ye are grateful and ye believe? Nay, it is Allah that recogniseth (all good), and knoweth all things.

تفسير ابن كثير — Ismail ibn Kathir

ثم قال مخبرا عن غناه عما سواه ، وأنه إنما يعذب العباد بذنوبهم ، فقال : ( ما يفعل الله بعذابكم إن شكرتم وآمنتم ) أي : أصلحتم العمل وآمنتم بالله ورسوله ، ( وكان الله شاكرا عليما ) أي : من شكر شكر له ومن آمن قلبه به علمه ، وجازاه على ذلك أوفر الجزاء .
