Commentary on 79:40
وقوله: ( وَأَمَّا مَنْ خَافَ مَقَامَ رَبِّهِ وَنَهَى النَّفْسَ عَنِ الْهَوَى ) يقول: وأما من خاف مسألة الله إياه عند وقوفه يوم القيامة بين يديه، فاتقاه بأداء فرائضه، واجتناب معاصيه، ( وَنَهَى النَّفْسَ عَنِ الْهَوَى ) يقول: ونهى نفسه عن هواها فيما يكرهه الله، ولا يرضاه منها، فزجرها عن ذلك، وخالف هواها إلى ما أمره به ربه .
