Commentary on 55:60
وقوله : ( هل جزاء الإحسان إلا الإحسان ) أي : ما لمن أحسن في الدنيا العمل إلا الإحسان إليه في الدار الآخرة . كما قال تعالى : ( للذين أحسنوا الحسنى وزيادة ) [ يونس : 26 ] .
وقال البغوي : أخبرنا أبو سعيد الشريحي ، حدثنا أبو إسحاق الثعلبي ، أخبرني ابن فنجويه ، حدثنا ابن شيبة ، حدثنا إسحاق بن إبراهيم بن بهرام ، حدثنا الحجاج بن يوسف المكتب ، حدثنا بشر بن الحسين ، عن الزبير بن عدي ، عن أنس بن مالك قال : قرأ رسول الله - صلى الله عليه وسلم - : ( هل جزاء الإحسان إلا الإحسان ) ، قال : " هل تدرون ما قال ربكم ؟ " قالوا : الله ورسوله أعلم . قال : " يقول هل جزاء ما أنعمت عليه بالتوحيد إلا الجنة " .
ولما كان في الذي ذكر نعم عظيمة لا يقاومها عمل ، بل مجرد تفضل وامتنان ، قال بعد ذلك كله : ( فبأي آلاء ربكما تكذبان ) .
