Tafsir of As-Saff 61:10

The Trade that saves One from the Painful Torment We mentioned a Hadith from Abdullah bin Salam in that the Companions wanted to ask the Prophet of Allah about the best actions with Allah the Exalted and Most Honored, so they could practice them. Allah the Exalted sent down this Surah, including this Ayah,

يا أيها الذين آمنوا هل أدلكم على تجارة تنجيكم من عذاب أليم

O you who believe! Shall I guide you to a trade that will save you from a painful torment? Allah then explained this great trade that will never fail, the trade that will earn one what he wishes and saves him from what he dislikes. Allah the Exalted said,

تومنون بالله ورسوله وتجاهدون في سبيل الله بٲموالكم وأنفسكم

ذلكم خير لكم إن كنتم تعلمون
