➋ {وَ لَكُمْ فِيْهَا مَا تَشْتَهِيْۤ اَنْفُسُكُمْ وَ لَكُمْ فِيْهَا مَا تَدَّعُوْنَ: ’’ مَا تَدَّعُوْنَ ‘‘ ’’دَعَا يَدْعُوْ‘‘} is from the verb form “ifti‘al,” meaning whatever you seek or ask for. For the blessings of Paradise, see the commentary of Surah Sajdah, verse (17). « مَا تَشْتَهِيْۤ اَنْفُسُكُمْ » (whatever your hearts desire) refers to those things which are their personal wishes, and the word {’’ مَا تَدَّعُوْنَ ‘‘} (whatever you ask for) is general, including both personal wishes and also those things which are not their own wishes but, for example, are requested for someone else. (Abu al-Su‘ud)

[40] In this verse, both possibilities exist: one is that this is also the speech of those angels who descend upon those who remain steadfast in faith, and the other is that this is the speech of Allah Almighty. The mention of guardianship (wilayah) in the world by the angels has already been discussed; in the Hereafter, it will be such that they will welcome them at every stage, offer them prayers of peace, and give them glad tidings of Paradise.
