Commentary
Its meaning is: So they will not be recompensed. The placement of 'those who did evil deeds' is in the position of the pronoun, because attributing the evil deed to them is repeated. It is a favor to clarify their condition and an increase in making the evil deed more detestable to the hearts of the listeners, except for what they used to do, only like what they used to do. This is from His great favor and vast generosity that an evil deed is recompensed only with its like, while a good deed is rewarded tenfold and up to seven hundred times. This is the meaning of His saying: 'So for him is better than it.'
