(And were it not that mankind would have become of one community,) means, `were it not for the fact that many ignorant people would think that Our giving them wealth was a sign that We love the person to whom We give it, and thus they would have agreed upon disbelief for the sake of wealth.' This is the view of Ibn `Abbas, Al-Hasan, Qatadah, As-Suddi and others.

(We would have provided for those who disbelieve in the Most Gracious, silver roofs for their houses, and elevators) means, ladders and staircases of silver. This was the view of Ibn `Abbas, Mujahid, Qatadah, As-Suddi, Ibn Zayd and others.

﴿ط¹ظژظ„ظژظٹظ’ظ‡ظژط§ ظٹظژط¸ظ’ظ‡ظژط±ظڈظˆظ†ظژ﴾

(whereby they ascend,) means, go up. And their houses would have doors, i.e., locks on their doors,

(and thrones on which they could recline,) means, all of that would be made of silver.

﴿ظˆظژط²ظڈط®ظ’ط±ظڈظپط§ظ‹﴾

(And adornments) means, and gold. This was the view of Ibn `Abbas, Qatadah, As-Suddi and Ibn Zayd.

(Yet all this would have been nothing but an enjoyment of this world.) means, all that belongs to this transient world which is insignificant before Allah. He hastens their reward for good deeds in the form of luxuries in this world, so that when they reach the Hereafter, they will have no good merits with Allah for which they may be rewarded, as was reported in the Sahih Hadith. It was reported in another Hadith:

آ«ظ„ظژظˆظ’ ط£ظژظ†ظ‘ظژ ط§ظ„ط¯ظ‘ظڈظ†ظ’ظٹظژط§ طھظژط²ظگظ†ظڈ ط¹ظگظ†ظ’ط¯ظژ ط§ظ„ظ„ظ‡ظگ ط¬ظژظ†ظژط§ط­ظژ ط¨ظژط¹ظڈظˆط¶ظژط©ظچ ظ…ظژط§ ط³ظژظ‚ظژظ‰ ظ…ظگظ†ظ’ظ‡ظژط§ ظƒظژط§ظپظگط±ظ‹ط§ ط´ظژط±ظ’ط¨ظژط©ظژ ظ…ظژط§ط،آ»

(If this world were worth a gnat's wing before Allah, He would not give a disbeliever a drink of water.) Al-Baghawi narrated its chain of narration.

﴿ظˆظژط§ظ„ط§ظ‘ظŒط®ظگط±ظژط©ظڈ ط¹ظگظ†ط¯ظژ ط±ظژط¨ظ‘ظگظƒظژ ظ„ظگظ„ظ’ظ…ظڈطھظ‘ظژظ‚ظگظٹظ†ظژ﴾

(And the Hereafter with your Lord is (only) for those who have Taqwa.) means, it is exclusively for them, and no one else will share it with them. When `Umar bin Al-Khattab, may Allah be pleased with him, visited the Messenger of Allah in seclusion, when he was keeping away from his wives, and he saw him resting on a rough mat which had left marks on his side, his eyes filled with tears and he said, "O Messenger of Allah, look at this Chosroes and this Caesar with all that they have, and you are the best of Allah's creation. '' The Messenger of Allah was reclining, but he sat up and said:

آ«ط£ظژظˆظژ ظپظگظٹ ط´ظژظƒظژ ط£ظژظ†ظ’طھظژ ظٹظژط§ ط§ط¨ظ’ظ†ظژ ط§ظ„ظ’ط®ظژط·ظ‘ظژط§ط¨ظگطںآ»

(Are you in doubt, O son of Al-Khattab) Then he said:

(Those are people for whom the enjoyments are hastened in this world.) According to another report:

(Does it not please you that this world is for them and the Hereafter is for us) In as the Two Sahihs and elsewhere, it is reported that the Messenger of Allah said:

آ«ظ„ظژط§ طھظژط´ظ’ط±ظژط¨ظڈظˆط§ ظپظگظٹ ط¢ظ†ظگظٹظژط©ظگ ط§ظ„ط°ظ‘ظژظ‡ظژط¨ظگ ظˆظژط§ظ„ظ’ظپظگط¶ظ‘ظژط©ظگطŒ ظˆظژظ„ظژط§ طھظژط£ظ’ظƒظڈظ„ظڈظˆط§ ظپظگظٹ طµظگط­ظژط§ظپظگظ‡ظژط§طŒ ظپظژط¥ظگظ†ظ‘ظژظ‡ظژط§ ظ„ظژظ‡ظڈظ…ظ’ ظپظگظٹ ط§ظ„ط¯ظ‘ظڈظ†ظ’ظٹظژط§ ظˆظژظ„ظژظ†ظژط§ ظپظگظٹ ط§ظ„ظ’ط§ط®ظگط±ظژط©آ»

(Do not drink from vessels of gold and silver, and do not eat from plates of the same, for these things are for them in this world and for us in the Hereafter.) Allah has granted these things to them in this world because it is insignificant, as was reported by At-Tirmidhi and Ibn Majah via Abu Hazim from Sahl bin Sa`d, who said, "The Messenger of Allah said:

آ«ظ„ظژظˆظ’ ظƒظژط§ظ†ظژطھظگ ط§ظ„ط¯ظ‘ظڈظ†ظ’ظٹظژط§ طھظژط²ظگظ†ظڈ ط¹ظگظ†ظ’ط¯ظژ ط§ظ„ظ„ظ‡ظگ ط¬ظژظ†ظژط§ط­ظژ ط¨ظژط¹ظڈظˆط¶ظژط©ظچ ظ…ظژط§ ط³ظژظ‚ظژظ‰ ظ…ظگظ†ظ’ظ‡ظژط§ ظƒظژط§ظپظگط±ظ‹ط§ ط´ظژط±ظ’ط¨ظژط©ظژ ظ…ظژط§ط،ظچ ط£ظژط¨ظژط¯ظ‹ط§آ»
