Tafsir of Al-Lail 92:5

{فَأَمَّا مَنْ أَعْطَى} He gave, meaning the dues of his wealth.

{وَاتَّقَى} And he feared Allah, so he did not disobey Him.

{وَصَدَّقَ بِالْحُسْنَى} And he affirmed the Husna (the best):

• The best quality: which is faith.
• Or the best creed: which is the religion of Islam.
• Or the best reward: which is Paradise.

{فَسَنُيَسِّرُهُ لِلْيُسْرَى} We will facilitate him toward ease. This is derived from "facilitating a horse for riding" when one saddles and bridles it. From this is the saying of the Prophet (peace be upon him): "Everyone is facilitated for that which he was created for."

The meaning is: We will be gentle with him and grant him success until obedience becomes the easiest and lightest of matters for him, as in the verse: "So whoever Allah wants to guide, He expands his breast to [contain] Islam."

{وَأَمَّا مَنْ بَخِلَ وَاسْتَغْنَى * وَكَذَّبَ بِالْحُسْنَى * فَسَنُيَسِّرُهُ لِلْعُسْرَى * وَمَا يُغْنِي عَنْهُ مَالُهُ إِذَا تَرَدَّى}

{وَأَمَّا مَنْ بَخِلَ} As for he who withheld.

{وَاسْتَغْنَى} And considered himself free of need (of Allah).

{وَكَذَّبَ بِالْحُسْنَى} And denied the Husna (the best reward).

{فَسَنُيَسِّرُهُ لِلْعُسْرَى} We will facilitate him toward hardship (the path to the Fire).

{وَمَا يُغْنِي عَنْهُ مَالُهُ إِذَا تَرَدَّى} And his wealth will not avail him when he falls (into the Fire or into destruction).
