Surah Al-An'aam (6) — Ayah 160
مَن جَآءَ بِٱلْحَسَنَةِ فَلَهُۥ عَشْرُ أَمْثَالِهَا ۖ وَمَن جَآءَ بِٱلسَّيِّئَةِ فَلَا يُجْزَىٰٓ إِلَّا مِثْلَهَا وَهُمْ لَا يُظْلَمُونَ ﴿160﴾
Translation by Dr. Muhammad Muhsin Khan & Dr. Taqi-ud-Din al-Hilali
Whoever brings a good deed (Islâmic Monotheism and deeds of obedience to Allâh and His Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم) shall have ten times the like thereof to his credit, and whoever brings an evil deed (polytheism, disbelief, hypocrisy, and deeds of disobedience to Allâh and His Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم) shall have only the recompense of the like thereof, and they will not be wronged.

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.
160. 1 This is a statement of Allah’s grace and favor that He will bestow upon the believers: for one good deed, He will grant a reward equal to ten good deeds. This is the minimum reward. Otherwise, it is established from both the Quran and Hadith that the reward for some good deeds is multiplied by several hundred times, even up to a thousand times.
160. 2 That is, for those sins for which no prescribed punishment is set, and after committing them, the person has not repented, or his good deeds have not outweighed his bad deeds, or Allah, out of His special grace, has not forgiven him. for in those cases (of pardon), the law of recompense would not be applied. Then Allah will give the punishment for such an evil deed, and He will give only its equivalent.
