سُوْرَةُ الْكَهْفِ
Surah Al-Kahf (18) — Ayah 28
وَٱصْبِرْ نَفْسَكَ مَعَ ٱلَّذِينَ يَدْعُونَ رَبَّهُم بِٱلْغَدَوٰةِ وَٱلْعَشِىِّ يُرِيدُونَ وَجْهَهُۥ ۖ وَلَا تَعْدُ عَيْنَاكَ عَنْهُمْ تُرِيدُ زِينَةَ ٱلْحَيَوٰةِ ٱلدُّنْيَا ۖ وَلَا تُطِعْ مَنْ أَغْفَلْنَا قَلْبَهُۥ عَن ذِكْرِنَا وَٱتَّبَعَ هَوَىٰهُ وَكَانَ أَمْرُهُۥ فُرُطًا ﴿28﴾
Translation by Dr. Muhammad Muhsin Khan & Dr. Taqi-ud-Din al-Hilali
And keep yourself (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم) patiently with those who call on their Lord (i.e. your companions who remember their Lord with glorification, praising in prayers, and other righteous deeds) morning and afternoon, seeking His Face; and let not your eyes overlook them, desiring the pomp and glitter of the life of the world; and obey not him whose heart We have made heedless of Our Remembrance, and who follows his own lusts, and whose affair (deeds) has been lost.

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.
28. 1 This is the same command that has already passed in Surah Al-An'am, 52. By this are meant those Companions who were poor and weak, with whom sitting was not acceptable to the nobles of Quraysh. Hazrat Sa'd bin Abi Waqqas says that we were six men with the Prophet ﷺ; besides me, there were Bilal, Ibn Mas'ud, a Hudhali, and two other Companions. The Quraysh of Makkah expressed the desire to remove these people from your presence so that we may come to you and listen to your words. The thought came to the Prophet's heart that perhaps by listening to my words, the world of their hearts might change. But Allah Almighty strictly forbade doing so (Sahih Muslim).
28. 2 That is, by distancing them, you wish to bring the nobles and wealthy closer to yourself.
28. 3 Furutan, if derived from ifrat, the meaning would be exceeding the limit, and if from tafrit, the meaning would be that their work is based on negligence, the result of which is loss and destruction.
