Commentary (Tafsir Ibn Kathir)

The Believer is Patient with the Affliction and thus gains a RewardAllah informs us that He tests and tries His servants, just as He said in another Ayah:وَلَنَبْلُوَنَّكُمْ حَتَّى نَعْلَمَ الْمُجَـهِدِينَ مِنكُمْ وَالصَّـبِرِينَ وَنَبْلُوَ أَخْبَـرَكُمْ(And surely, We shall try you till We test those who strive hard (for the cause of Allah) and As-Sabirin (the patient), and We shall test your facts (i.e., the one who is a liar, and the one who is truthful).
