Exegesis of the saying of Allah the Exalted: (But as for he whose scales are heavy, he will be in a pleasant life)]
Allah the Exalted said: [Al-Qari'ah: 6-11] Allah the Exalted divided people into two categories: the first category is he whose scales are heavy, which is the one whose good deeds outweigh his bad deeds.
And the second category: The second is he whose scales are light, which is the one whose bad deeds outweigh his good deeds, or the one who has no good deed at all, such as the disbeliever,The Exalted said: [Al-Qari'ah: 6-7] The word "ayshah" (life) is derived from "aysh" which is life,It is said: a man lived for a long time,Meaning: he remained and lived for a long time, and "al-ayshah" here is on the pattern of fa'ilah, so it is a state (hay'ah) and not a verbal noun (masdar),The source indicating the singular is to say: "ayshah",And if you say: "ayshah" so it is fa'ilah indicating a state, as Ibn Malik (may Allah have mercy on him) said:
And fa'ilah is for a single instance, like "jalsah" (a sitting), and fi'ilah is for a state, like "jilsah" (a sitting posture)
The meaning: that he is in a good, satisfying life,And regarding "radiyyah" (satisfying), it is said: that it is an active participle meaning a passive participle, i.e., satisfying,And it was said: that it is an active participle in the sense of attribution, i.e., possessing satisfaction, and both meanings are one,The meaning: that it is a good life with no hardship, no noise, and no toil, complete in every respect,And this means: the life in Paradise, may Allah make us and you among them, this life [Al-Hijr: 48] they will not grieve nor fear, in the most pleasant life, the most sweetest rest, and the easiest condition, so it is a satisfying life.
Allah the Exalted said:
(6) Then as for one whose scales are heavy [with good deeds], (7) He will be in a pleasant life. (8) But as for one whose scales are light, (9) His refuge will be an abyss. (10) And what can make you know what that is?
فَأَمَّا مَنْ ثَقُلَتْ مَوَازِينُهُ * فَهُوَ فِي عِيشَةٍ رَاضِيَةٍ * وَأَمَّا مَنْ خَفَّتْ مَوَازِينُهُ * فَأُمُّهُ هَاوِيَةٌ * وَمَا أَدْرَاكَ مَا هِيَهْ * نَارٌ حَامِيَةٌAnd the second category: The second is he whose scales are light, which is the one whose bad deeds outweigh his good deeds, or the one who has no good deed at all, such as the disbeliever,The Exalted said:
(6) Then as for one whose scales are heavy [with good deeds], (7) He will be in a pleasant life.
فَأَمَّا مَنْ ثَقُلَتْ مَوَازِينُهُ * فَهُوَ فِي عِيشَةٍ رَاضِيَةٍAnd fa'ilah is for a single instance, like "jalsah" (a sitting), and fi'ilah is for a state, like "jilsah" (a sitting posture)
