(Is he whom We have promised a fair promise) Paradise; the reference here is to Muhammad (pbuh) and his Companions; it is also said that the reference is to 'Uthman Ibn 'Affan (which he will find (true)) in the Hereafter (like him whom We suffer to enjoy awhile the comfort of the life of the world) like him whom We gave wealth and servants in the life of the world; the reference here is to Abu Jahl, (then on the Day of Resurrection he will be of those arraigned) of those who are tormented in hell?
- 28:6161
أَفَمَنْ وَعَدْنَاهُ وَعْدًا حَسَنًا فَهُوَ لَاقِيهِ كَمَنْ مَتَّعْنَاهُ مَتَاعَ الْحَيَاةِ الدُّنْيَا ثُمَّ هُوَ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ مِنَ الْمُحْضَرِينَ
Can one who was given a better promise, which he will find come true, be like him who was given a little enjoyment of this life, but who will afterwards be brought (to judgement) on the Day of Resurrection?
