Tafsir
But as for him who believes and acts righteously he shall have the fairest reward namely Paradise the annexation construction jazā’u l-husnā ‘the fairest reward’ is explicative; a variant reading has jazā’an al-husnā ‘he shall have as a requital that which is fairest’; al-Farrā’ said that this accusative reading of jazā’an is intended as an explanation of the nature of the requital by way of attribution to ‘that which is fairest’; and we shall speak to him mildly in our command’ that is to say we shall command him with what he will find easy to bear.
