His saying, exalted and majestic is He:

﴿Those are the ones who will be rewarded with the chamber for what they patiently endured, and they will be greeted therein with a greeting and peace﴾ ﴿Abiding therein forever, excellent is the place of rest and residence﴾ ﴿Say, "What would my Lord care for you if not for your supplication? You have denied, so there will be a punishment upon you."

Ubayy ibn Ka'b read: "They will be rewarded" with an alif, and "the chamber" is from the abodes of Paradise, and it is the rooms above the rooms. It is a generic term, as he said:

؎ And were it not for the dark seed, I would not have settled in your valleys.

Ibn Kathir, Nafi', and Abu 'Amr read: "And they will be greeted" with a damma on the ya and a fatha on the lam and a shadda on the qaf. This is the reading of Abu Ja'far, Shaiba, and Al-Hasan. Hamza, Al-Kisai, Ibn 'Amir, 'Asim, Talha, and Muhammad Al-Yamani also read, and it was narrated from the Prophet, blessings and peace be upon him: "And they will be greeted" with a fatha on the ya, a sukoon on the lam, and a lightening of the qaf, and there was a difference concerning 'Asim.

And His saying, exalted is He: ﴿Say,

Most people are of the opinion that the obligation referred to in this context is the Day of Badr. This is the saying of Ubayy ibn Ka'b and Ibn Mas'ud. The meaning is: So the recompense for the denial will be. A group said: It is a warning of the punishment of the Hereafter. Ibn Mas'ud said: The obligation is the denial itself, meaning: They will not be granted repentance. Al-Zahrawi mentioned this. Ibn Abbas - may Allah be pleased with both of them - also said: The obligation is death. This is similar to the saying regarding Badr. If someone interprets it as the usual death among people, it is weak. The majority of people read: 'Lazaman' with a kasra on the lam, from 'lazim'. Abu Ubaidah recited for Sakhr al-Ghayy: (p-466)

'So either they escape from the fate of the earth, Then they have met their demise as an obligation.'

Abu al-Samal read: 'Lazaman' with a fatha on the lam, from 'lazim', and Allah knows best.

The interpretation of Surah Al-Furqan is complete, and all praise is due to Allah, the Lord of the worlds.

And blessings and peace be upon our master Muhammad and upon his family and all his companions.
