Tafsir Al-Jalalayn: An-Nahl, Ayah 95
وَلَا تَشْتَرُوا۟ بِعَهْدِ ٱللَّهِ ثَمَنًۭا قَلِيلًا ۚ إِنَّمَا عِندَ ٱللَّهِ هُوَ خَيْرٌۭ لَّكُمْ إِن كُنتُمْ تَعْلَمُونَ
And do not exchange the covenant of Allah for a small price. Indeed, what is with Allah is best for you, if only you could know.

(And purchase not a small gain at the price of Allah's covenant) i.e. swearing by Allah falsely to obtain a small worldly gain. (Lo! that which Allah hath) of reward (is better for you) than what you have of wealth, (if ye did but know) the reward of Allah; it is also said that this means: if you believe in the reward of Allah.
Al-Jalalayn Commentary
And do not sell God’s covenant for a small price of this world so that you break it in return for this small price. For truly what is with God of reward is better for you than all that is in this world — if you should know this then do not break it.
