Commentary
Ten times its like is for establishing the characteristic of the distinguished type in place of the described. Its estimation is ten good deeds like it. And it has been recited: ten times its like, with both being raised as a description. This is the least that has been promised from the multiplication.
And it has been promised for one [good deed] seven hundred, and a reward without account has been promised. The multiplication of good deeds is a favor, and the recompense for bad deeds is justice, and they are not wronged; their reward is not diminished, nor is their punishment increased.
