Commentary
Whoever intends the reward of this world, like the fighter who seeks gain through his fighting, then with Allah is the reward of this world and the Hereafter. So why should he seek one of them without the other? And whoever seeks it, seeks the lesser of the two. Because whoever fights for Allah sincerely, the gain will not miss him, and he will have from the reward of the Hereafter what the gain is nothing compared to. The meaning is: with Allah is the reward of this world and the Hereafter for him if he intends it, so that the reward is contingent upon the condition.
