77. By goodness and gratitude is meant faith and piety as faith is the goodness of the heart and piety is the goodness of the body. Also, by gratitude could mean sincerety in worship. The said: "True Holy Prophet ? gratitude is that man should perfrom Salaah in such a way that he is looking at Allah Almighty. If this is not possible then think that He is looking at you". Allah Almighty be praised!
78. By good is meant Paradise and more refers to Divine Vision, because this is not a reward for a good deed. Otherwise, good could mean reward of good deeds and more would mean increase thereof, like giving ten rewards for one good deed, or even more.
79. In fact if Allah Almighty wills, the faces of the believers would be shining, those of the saints of Allah Almighty Would be glittering. while the faces of the Prophets and His special devotees would be radiant like the sun. Thus faces would become the means of recognition.
80. They will neither obtain through death or being alive. This tells that any person who enters Paradise for the sake of reward will not be taken out of it. The entrance of Hazrat Adam (Alaihis Salaam), and that of the Holy on the night of Prophet ?.This Me'raj was not for the sake of reward. Hence there is no inconsistency in the verses. verse is not contradictory to the Hadith of Me'raj.

26. For those who have done good is the best, and even more. Neither darkness nor dust nor any humiliating disgrace shall cover their faces. They are the dwellers of Paradise, they will abide therein forever.
Allah states that those who do good in this world — by having faith and performing righteous deeds — will be rewarded with a good reward in the Hereafter. Allah said:
(Is there any reward for good other than good)(55:60) Then Allah said:
(and even more.) the reward on the good deeds multiplied ten times to seven hundred times and even more on top of that. This reward includes what Allah will give them in Paradise, such as the palaces, Al-Hur (virgins of Paradise), and His pleasure upon them. He will give them what He has hidden for them of the delight of the eye. He will grant them on top of all of that and even better, the honor of looking at His Noble Face. This is the increase that is greater than anything that had been given. They will not deserve that because of their deeds, but rather, they will receive it by the grace of Allah and His mercy. The explanation that this refers to looking at Allah’s Noble Face was narrated from Abu Bakr, Hudhayfah bin Al-Yaman, `Abdullah bin `Abbas, Sa`id bin Al-Musayyib, `Abdur-Rahman bin Abu Layla, `Abdur-Rahman bin Sabit, Mujahid, `Ikrimah, `Amir bin Sa`ad, `Ata’, Ad-Dahhak, Al-Hasan, Qatadah, As-Suddi, Muhammad bin Ishaq, and others from the earlier and later scholars. There are many Hadiths that contain the same interpretation. Among these Hadiths is what Imam Ahmad recorded from Suhayb that Allah’s Messenger recited this Ayah,
(For those who have done good is the best and even more.) And then he said:
(When the people of Paradise enter Paradise, a caller will say: `O people of Paradise, Allah has promised you something that He wishes to fulfill.’ They will reply: `What is it Has He not made our Scale heavy Has He not made our faces white and delivered us from Fire’ Allah will then remove the veil and they will see Him. By Allah, they have not been given anything dearer to them and more delightful than looking at Him.) Muslim and a group of Imams also related this Hadith. Allah then said:
(Neither darkness nor dust shall cover their faces. ..) meaning, no blackness or darkness will be on their faces during the different events of the Day of Judgment. But the faces of the rebellious disbelievers will be stained with dust and darkness.
(nor any humiliating disgrace) meaning, they will be covered with degradation and disgrace. The believers, however will not be humiliated internally or externally, on the contrary, they will be protected and honored. For as Allah has said:
(So Allah saved them from the evil of that Day, and gave them Nadrah (brightness) and joy.) ﴿76:11﴾ meaning, light in their faces and delight in their hearts. May Allah make us among those by His grace and mercy.
(10:26) For those who do good there is good reward and more besides;[33] neither gloom nor humiliation shall cover their faces. They are the people of the Garden and in it they shall abide.
33. That is, Allah by His grace will give to those who did good deeds more than their due reward.
[521]- In addition to the pleasures of Paradise, they will be able to see Allāh (subḥānahu wa taʿālā), as reported in an authentic ḥadīth narrated by Muslim.
