Tafseer Ibn Kathir

رَبَّنَا وَأَدْخِلْهُمْ جَنَّاتِ عَدْنٍ الَّتِي وَعَدتَّهُم وَمَن صَلَحَ مِنْ ابَايِهِمْ وَأَزْوَاجِهِمْ وَذُرِّيَّاتِهِمْ

Our Lord! And make them enter the `Adn (Eternal) Gardens which you have promised them -- and to the righteous among their fathers, their wives, and their offspring!

meaning, `bring them together so that they may find delight in one another in neighboring dwellings.'

This is like the Ayah;

وَالَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ وَاتَّبَعَتْهُمْ ذُرِّيَّتُهُم بِإِيمَـنٍ أَلْحَقْنَا بِهِمْ ذُرِّيَّتَهُمْ وَمَأ أَلَتْنَـهُمْ مِّنْ عَمَلِهِم مِّن شَىْءٍ

And those who believe and whose offspring follow them in faith, -- to them shall We join their offspring, and We shall not decrease the reward of their deeds in anything. (52;21)

This means, `that all of them will be made equal in status. In this way they may delight in one another's company; the one who is in the higher status will not lose anything. On the contrary We will raise the one whose deeds are of a lower status so that they will become equal, as a favor and a blessing from Us.'

Sa`id bin Jubayr said that;

when the believer enters Paradise, he will ask where his father, son and brother are. It will be said to him, `they did not reach the same level of good deeds as you did'.

He will say, `but I did it for my sake and for theirs.'

Then they will be brought to join him in that higher degree.

Then Sa`id bin Jubayr recited this Ayah;

رَبَّنَا وَأَدْخِلْهُمْ جَنَّاتِ عَدْنٍ الَّتِي وَعَدتَّهُم وَمَن صَلَحَ مِنْ ابَايِهِمْ وَأَزْوَاجِهِمْ وَذُرِّيَّاتِهِمْ

إِنَّكَ أَنتَ الْعَزِيزُ الْحَكِيمُ


Our Lord! And make them enter the `Adn (Eternal) Gardens which you have promised them -- and to the righteous among their fathers, their wives, and their offspring! Verily, You are the Almighty, the All-Wise.

Mutarrif bin Abdullah bin Ash-Shikhkhir said,

"The most sincere of the servants of Allah towards the believers are the angels."

Then he recited this Ayah;
رَبَّنَا وَأَدْخِلْهُمْ جَنَّاتِ عَدْنٍ الَّتِي وَعَدتَّهُم
(Our Lord! And make them enter the `Adn (Eternal) Paradises which you have promised them...)

He then said,

"The most treacherous of the servants of Allah towards the believers are the Shayatin."

إِنَّكَ أَنتَ الْعَزِيزُ الْحَكِيمُ



You are the Almighty, the All-Wise.

means, `the One Whom none can resist or overwhelm; what You will happens and what You do not will does not happen; You are Wise in all that You say and do, in all that You legislate and decree.
