Commentary (Tafsir Ibn Kathir)

Allah Wrongs Not Even the Weight of a Speck of DustAllah states that He does not treat any of His servants with injustice on the Day of Resurrection, be it the weight of a mustard seed or a speck of dust. Rather, Allah shall reward them for this action and multiply it, if it were a good deed.
