Commentary
And when he clarified what is for one of the two groups of the people of gathering, as a means of repelling them, he clarified what is for the other, based on the anticipated answer to a question that the situation necessitates, encouraging following them and emulating them. He said: ﴿Indeed, those who have believed﴾ meaning they have engaged in faith ﴿and have done﴾ as a confirmation of their faith ﴿righteous deeds﴾ of good qualities ﴿for them﴾ to build their deeds on the foundation ﴿are gardens﴾ meaning orchards ﴿of Paradise﴾ meaning the highest part of Paradise, and its origin is the orchard which is Paradise in reality due to the lower levels being beneath it, and the covering of those who enter it by the abundance of its trees ﴿as a hospitality﴾ just as the blazing fire and the shackles were a hospitality for those, prepared for them at the time of entry.
