Tafsir jalalayn

Whoever brings a good deed, namely, [the profession of] `there is no god but God', on the Day of Resurrection, shall have good, [shall have] a reward, for it, because of it (this [khayrun] is not the comparative [`better'], since there is no deed better [than a good deed]). In another verse [it is stated that] he shall have tenfold the like of it [Q. 6;160]; and they, namely, those who bring such [good deeds], shall be secure from the terror of that day (min faza`i yawmi'idhin, if read as a genitive annexation; or min faza`in yawma'idhin, `from terror on that day').

مَن جَاء بِالْحَسَنَةِ فَلَهُ خَيْرٌ مِّنْهَا

Whoever brings a good deed, will have better than its worth.

Qatadah said,

"That is sincerely for Allah alone."

Allah has explained elsewhere in the Qur'an that He will give ten like it.

وَهُم مِّن فَزَعٍ يَوْمَيِذٍ امِنُونَ



and they will be safe from the terror on that Day.

This is like the Ayah,

لَا يَحْزُنُهُمُ الْفَزَعُ الااٌّكْبَرُ

The greatest terror will not grieve them. (21;103)

and Allah said;

أَفَمَن يُلْقَى فِى النَّارِ خَيْرٌ أَم مَّن يَأْتِى ءَامِناً يَوْمَ الْقِيَـمَةِ

Is he who is cast into the Fire better or he who comes secure on the Day of Resurrection. (41;40)

وَهُمْ فِى الْغُرُفَـتِ ءَامِنُونَ

and they will reside in the high dwellings in peace and security. (34;37
