Transliteration:( A haaa'ulaaa'il lazeena aqsamtum laa yanaaluhumul laahu bi rahmah; udkhulul Jannata laa khawfun 'alaikum wa laaa antum tahzanoon )
"Are these the people [112] on whom you would swear that Allah would not bestow His Mercy? [113] It will be said to them: 'Enter Paradise. No fear will be upon you, nor shall you grieve' [114]."
This question will be asked for the purpose of reproof and displeasure and not for enquiry.
By "on whom you used to swear" means that in the world, you would swear at the poverty of these inmates of Paradise, assuming that even in the Hereafter they would be deprived of the mercy and blessings of Allah Almighty.
Look! In what comfort and luxury they are today, and see in what pain and grief you find yourself.
This tells us that one should not be deceived by the poverty of the believer and wealth of the infidel in this world.
In Paradise there will be no fear of the future nor grief of the past.
There will be no illness nor hardship, no fear nor disunity, no enmity nor hatred for one another.
In this one sentence, negation is made of all things that cause hardship and difficulties.
