Translation by Dr. Muhammad Muhsin Khan & Dr. Taqi-ud-Din al-Hilali
But none is granted it (the above quality) except those who are patient - and none is granted it except the owner of the great portion (of happiness in the Hereafter i.e. Paradise and of a high moral character) in this world.

Tafsir Taiseer ul-Quran — Maulana Abdul Rahman Kilani
Tafsir Taiseer ul-Quran (Facilitation of the Quran) is a comprehensive Quran commentary by Maulana Abdul Rahman Kilani, a renowned Salafi (Ahl al-Hadith) scholar from Pakistan. Known for his eloquent and accessible writing style, Kilani authored this tafsir with a focus on clarity — making Quranic meanings understandable to the common reader. The tafsir provides detailed historical context for verses related to battles and expeditions, and firmly refutes modernist ideologies using strong scriptural evidence. It is widely regarded as an invaluable resource for understanding the Quran and countering deviant interpretations. The tafsir is originally written in Urdu, translated to English by tohed.com.
35. But none is granted this except those who are patient, and none is granted it except one having a great share [43] (of good).
[43] In Terms of Retaliation, People Are of Three Types:
In the world, people are of three types. The first are those who repay evil with evil and good with good. The majority of common people are like this. The second are those who repay even good with evil. These are the worst people, who possess the nature of a scorpion. Such people ultimately harm only themselves. Because of this evil nature, people hate them and try to stay away from them. The third are those who, when wronged, do not flare up but rather endure it. Later, they treat the wrongdoer with goodwill and kindness. And this is not child's play, but a task requiring great courage and a strong heart. Such an act can only be expected from someone who is highly determined and of lofty spirit. These people are the best of all. And these people ultimately succeed in their purpose.
