فَأَمَّا مَنۡ أَعۡطَىٰ وَٱتَّقَىٰ
As for him who gives and is Godwary
Agha Ali Puya Commentary
Commentary on Quran 92:5
[Pooya/Ali Commentary 92:5] Large hearted sacrifices in the cause of Allah and His servants, awareness of the laws of Allah to safeguard against evil and sincere belief in Allah and His religion and His book are the distinguishing marks of a righteous servant of Allah. Allah will make his path smoother and smoother so that he may reach his salvation in the easiest manner and style. He who chooses evil, greed and niggardliness will also have a smooth sailing unto hell, no matter how much resources he may have. Aqa Mahdi Puya says: Wahidi, in Asbab al Nuzul, narrates on the authority of Ibn Abbas that there was a poor man with a large family whose children used to collect and eat the dates fell from a branch of palm tree, belonging to another man but leaning in his house. More often the owner would at once rush to his house and snatch the fallen dates from the hands of the children and sometimes even from their mouths. The poor man went to the Holy Prophet and asked for his advice. The Holy Prophet asked the owner if he would give him the tree in exchange for a tree in paradise. The owner did not accept the offer. Abu Huddah said: "O messenger of Allah, if you promise me the same I will buy the tree and give it to you." The Holy Prophet agreed. Abu Huddah purchased that tree and presented it to the Holy Prophet who gave it to the poor man. The occasion of revelation of any verse does not restrict its significance. The word of Allah is applicable in all times. Imam Jafar bin Muhammad as Sadiq said: "Good deeds along with sincere belief in Allah and His religion shall obtain salvation and eternal happiness in the hereafter."
