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.

(Ayah 21){ وَ لَسَوْفَ يَرْضٰى:} That is, after attaining the countless blessings of Paradise and high ranks, he will surely be pleased. Most commentators, based on authentic ahadith and reports, have said that in this surah, the one who spends refers to Abu Bakr Siddiq (may Allah be pleased with him), who used to buy and free weak Muslim slaves to save them from the oppression of the disbelievers, and would happily do every good deed solely for the pleasure of Allah. Certainly, Abu Bakr Siddiq (may Allah be pleased with him) is the foremost example of these verses, but the words are general, so every Muslim who possesses these qualities is included in them.

21. 1. That is, whoever possesses these qualities, Allah will grant him the blessings of Paradise and honor and dignity, with which he will be pleased. Most commentators have said, and some have even transmitted consensus, that these verses were revealed regarding Hazrat Abu Bakr. However, in terms of meaning and concept, they are general; whoever is characterized by these lofty qualities will be considered an embodiment of them in the court of Allah.
