مَنْ عَمِلَ سَيِّئَةً فَلَا يُجْزَىٰٓ إِلَّا مِثْلَهَا ۖ وَمَنْ عَمِلَ صَـٰلِحًا مِّن ذَكَرٍ أَوْ أُنثَىٰ وَهُوَ مُؤْمِنٌ فَأُو۟لَـٰٓئِكَ يَدْخُلُونَ ٱلْجَنَّةَ يُرْزَقُونَ فِيهَا بِغَيْرِ حِسَابٍ ﴿40﴾

Translation by Dr. Muhammad Muhsin Khan & Dr. Taqi-ud-Din al-Hilali

"Whosoever does an evil deed, will not be requited except the like thereof; and whosoever does a righteous deed, whether male or female and is a true believer (in the Oneness of Allâh), such will enter Paradise, where they will be provided therein (with all things in abundance) without limit.

Tafsir al-Quran al-Karim — Hafiz Abdus Salam Bin Muhammad Bhutvi

Tafsir al-Quran al-Karim is a 4-volume Quran commentary by Hafiz Abdus Salam bin Muhammad Bhutvi, a renowned Salafi (Ahl al-Hadith) scholar and Sheikh ul-Hadith from Pakistan. Based on over 45 years of teaching and research, this tafsir follows the methodology of Tafsir bil-Ma'thur — interpreting the Quran through authentic Hadith, statements of the Companions, and the understanding of the early generations (Salaf). It is distinguished by its complete avoidance of Israeliyyat (Judeo-Christian narratives) and unverified reports. The tafsir is originally written in Urdu, translated to English by tohed.com.

(Ayah 40) {مَنْ عَمِلَ سَيِّئَةً فَلَا يُجْزٰۤى اِلَّا مِثْلَهَا …:} This world is a place of trial, yet the Most Merciful and Compassionate Lord has granted such a tremendous concession that whoever commits an evil deed will be recompensed only for that one evil, but whoever believes and does righteous deeds—such people will enter Paradise and will be given sustenance therein without measure. They will be rewarded for their good deeds tenfold, up to seven hundred times, or even beyond calculation. From this, it is understood that the recompense for evil will be exactly as much as the evil committed, and that a disbeliever will never enter Paradise, because even if he thinks he has done some good, it will not be considered valid without faith. For the acceptance of righteous deeds, faith is a condition, and a righteous deed is one in which the intention is correct, meaning it is done purely for Allah, and the method is correct, meaning it is done according to the way prescribed by Allah and His Messenger (peace be upon him). See the commentary of the last verse of Surah Al-Kahf.

Tafsir Ahsan al-Bayan — Hafiz Salahuddin Yusuf

Tafsir Ahsan al-Bayan is a well-known Quran commentary by Hafiz Salahuddin Yusuf, a renowned Salafi (Ahl al-Hadith) scholar from Pakistan. This tafsir explains the meanings of the Quran in accordance with the methodology of the Salaf (early righteous generations), relying on authentic sources and straightforward language. Due to its reliability and adherence to sound Islamic scholarship, the Saudi government publishes and distributes this tafsir among the Hujjaj (pilgrims) visiting the Haramain. The tafsir is originally written in Urdu, translated to English by tohed.com.

40. 1. That is, the recompense for evil will be like the evil itself, not more, and the punishment will be according to it, which will be a reflection of justice and fairness.

40. 2. That is, those who will also be believers and will also be adherents of righteous deeds. Its clear meaning is that without righteous deeds, mere faith, or without faith, righteous deeds, have no value in the sight of Allah. For success with Allah, faith along with righteous deeds and righteous deeds along with faith are necessary.

40. 3. That is, blessings will be given without measure and reckoning, and there will be no fear of their ending.
