Commentary (Tafsir Ibn Kathir)

The Reward of the Righteous, and the Harsh Seizing of the Disbelieving Enemies of AllahAllah informs about His believing servants thatلَهُمْ جَنَّـتٍ تَجْرِى مِن تَحْتِهَا الأَنْهَـرُ(for them will be Gardens under which rivers flow.) This is the opposite of what he has prepared for His enemies of Fire and Hell. Thus, He says,ذَلِكَ الْفَوْزُ الْكَبِيرُ(That is the supreme success.) Then Allah says,إِنَّ بَطْشَ رَبِّكَ لَشَدِيدٌ (Verily, the punishment of your Lord is severe and painful.
