The best reward is the good reward and an increase, and what exceeds the reward is the favor. This is indicated by His saying, 'And He increases them from His bounty.' And from Ali, may Allah be pleased with him: the increase is a chamber made of a single pearl. And from Ibn Abbas, may Allah be pleased with him: the good reward is the good deed, and the increase is ten times its like. And from Al-Hasan, may Allah be pleased with him: it is ten times its like up to seven hundred times. And from Mujahid, may Allah be pleased with him: the increase is forgiveness from Allah and pleasure. And from Yazid ibn Shajara: the increase is that a cloud passes by the people of Paradise and says: 'What do you want me to rain upon you?' They do not want anything except that it rains upon them. The anthropomorphists and the compellers claimed that the increase is looking at the face of Allah, glorified and exalted is He. It was mentioned that Mahmoud stated many interpretations regarding the increase, then said: The anthropomorphists and the compellers claimed that the increase is looking at the face of Allah, glorified and exalted is He... etc. Ahmad said: attributing the interpretation of the increase to the vision of Allah to the claim of the people of the Sunnah, who are referred to as the anthropomorphists and the compellers, is a continuation of his known habit of denying what he has no knowledge of. This interpretation is widely transmitted from a group of the Companions, and the hadith narrated in it is recorded in the authentic books, agreed upon its authenticity. The people of the Sunnah have been accused of bringing it from themselves. Previously, those who insisted on disbelief said to the Messenger of Allah, blessings and peace be upon him: 'Bring us a Qur'an other than this or change it,' implying that he brought it from himself. Therefore, the people of the Sunnah have a precedent with its owner. Indeed, you have in the Messenger of Allah a good example. The trial of truth with falsehood is ancient, and Allah is the Grantor of success. And in His saying thereafter, 'And no darkness or humiliation will cover their faces,' is evidence of the correctness of this interpretation. It indicates the honoring of their faces by looking at the face of Allah, glorified and exalted is He. It is fitting that their faces are not covered by the darkness of distance or the humiliation of being veiled, unlike the deprived ones who are veiled, for their faces are covered by the darkness of expulsion and the humiliation of distance. We ask Allah for sufficiency. Those will be covered by the lights of witnessing, while these will be covered by the darkness of the night. Among them are the wretched and the happy.
