Ibn Abbas Commentary

(They say) after they become aware of Allah's favour upon them: (Praise be to Allah) gratitude belongs to Allah, (Who hath fulfilled His promise unto us and hath made us inherit the land) and Who made us to dwell in the land of the Garden, (sojourning in the Garden where we will! So bounteous is the wage of workers) how good is the wage of those who strive for Allah in the life of the world.

And they will say this is a supplement to the implicit response dakhalūhā ‘they enter it’ ‘Praise be to God Who has fulfilled His promise to us of Paradise and has made us inherit the land the land of Paradise that we may settle in Paradise wherever we wish’ for it is all Paradise and there is no spot that can be preferred to another. So how excellent is Paradise as the reward of those who worked hard!
