Ibn Abbas Commentary

(But as for those who believe) in Muhammad and the Qur'an (and do good works) i.e. acts of obedience, in relation to that which binds them to their Lord (We shall bring them into Gardens underneath which) beneath its rooms and habitations (rivers) of wine, water, milk and honey (flow, wherein they will abide) they will abide in Paradise, never to die or be removed (for ever. It is a promise from Allah) regarding Paradise and hell (in truth) which shall truly happen; (and who can be more truthful than Allah in utterance) in promise?
