'Abdullāh Ibn 'Abbās / Muḥammad al-Fīrūzabādī

تفسير : (whoso desireth the harvest of the hereafter) the reward of the hereafter through his works for allah, (we give him increase in its harvest) we give him increase in his reward; it is also said: we give him increase in his strength, activity and reward in the hereafter. (and whoso desireth the harvest of the world) and whoever desires the reward of the life of the world through the works that allah has made obligatory upon him, (we give him thereof) we give him of the life of the world and drive away from him some of its hardship, (and he hath no portion) he has no reward (in the hereafter) in paradise because he did not work for allah.

Jalāl al-Dīn al-Maḥallī

تفسير : and whoever desires, in return for his actions, the harvest of the hereafter, in other words, its gains, and that is reward, we will enhance for him his harvest, by multiplying in it the good deed up tenfold or more; and whoever desires the harvest of this world, we will give him of it, without multiplying [any of it], [giving him] only what is his [preordained] share; but in the hereafter he will have no share.

[however,] whoever acts for the sake of this world, …we will give him of it, but in the hereafterhe will have no portion (naṣīb), for his ⸢natural⸣ self will be occupied with the enjoyment (tanaʿʿum or naʿīm) of paradise, which itself is its share (ḥaẓẓ), [while forgoing] its portion in the hereafter, namely the vision of god for eternity (ruʾyat al-Ḥaqq ʿalā’l-abad). his words, exalted is he:
