Transliteration:( Innaaa akhlasnaahum bi khaalisatin zikrad daar )
93. In that their hearts are totally indifferent to worldly matters, and abound in the remembrance of the Hereafter, as well as with the remembrance of Allah Almighty.
This tells us that to ponder over the Hereafter and the remembrance of Allah Almighty is a great bounty. Fortunate is he who is blessed with these.

The tafsir of Surah Sad verse 46 by Ibn Kathir is unavailable here.
Please refer to Surah Sad ayat 45 which provides the complete commentary from verse 45 through 48.
(38:46) Verily We exalted them in consideration of a sterling quality: their remembrance of the Abode of the Hereafter.[49]
49. That is, the real cause for their success and eminence was that there was nothing of worldliness in their character. All their efforts, mental and physical, were directed towards the Hereafter. They remembered it themselves and urged others also to remember it. That is why Allah exalted them to such high ranks as have never been attained by those who remained absorbed in earning worldly wealth and prosperity. In this regard, one should also keep in view the subtle point that Allah here has only used the word ad-dar (that abode, or the real abode) for the Hereafter. This is meant to impress the truth that this world is no abode for man, but only a passage and a rest house, which man has to leave in any case. The real abode is the abode of the Hereafter. He who works to adorn that abode is the man of insight and such a one should inevitably be a commendable person in the sight of Allah. As for him who in order to adorn his transitory abode in this rest house behaves in a way as to ruin his real abode in the Hereafter is foolish and naturally cannot be liked by Allah.
