Commentary (Tafsir Ibn Kathir)

The Reward of the Foremost in FaithAllah states that the foremost of the close believers are a multitude, a crowd among the earlier generations and a few from the latter generations. There is a difference over the meaning of the first generations and the later generations. Some said that the former means earlier (believing) nations, while the later refers to this Ummah.
