Ibn Abbas Commentary

(But the messenger) Muhammad (pbuh) (and those who believe) in secret and in the open (with him strive with their wealth and their lives) in the way of Allah. (Such are they for whom are the good things) accepted good deeds in the life of this world; it is also said that the good things means: beautiful maidens in the Hereafter. (Such are they who are the successful) those who escape Allah's wrath and torment.
