Commentary
Kufran: it is an example of deprivation of reward, just as gratitude is an example of giving it when it is said about Allah: 'Grateful.'
And He negated the type to be more emphatic than saying: 'So we do not deny his effort, and indeed we are recording it.' That is, we are recording that effort and affirming it in the record of his deeds. What we affirm is not lost, and its owner will be rewarded for it.
