Exegesis of His saying, the Exalted: (The Bedouins said, "We have believed." Say, "You have not believed, but say, 'We have submitted,' for faith has not yet entered your hearts")

Allah the Exalted said:
The bedouins say, "We have believed." Say, "You have not [yet] believed; but say [instead], 'We have submitted,' for faith has not yet entered your hearts.قَالَتْ الأَعْرَابُ آمَنَّا قُلْ لَمْ تُؤْمِنُوا وَلَكِنْ قُولُوا أَسْلَمْنَا وَلَمَّا يَدْخُلْ الإِيمَانُ فِي قُلُوبِكُمْ
[Surah al-Hujurat: 14] :- We have explained previously that these people did not attain the perfection of faith,Meaning: rather, they possess the foundation of faith, so they said: "We have believed." Absolute faith is not attributed to one whose faith is not complete,Therefore, Allah, Mighty and Majestic, said:
but say [instead], 'We have submitted,' for faith has not yet entered your heartsوَلَكِنْ قُولُوا أَسْلَمْنَا وَلَمَّا يَدْخُلْ الإِيمَانُ فِي قُلُوبِكُمْ
[Al-Hujurat 49:14]
meaning: the complete faith has not entered your hearts, but it is near, because (lamma) indicates the nearness of what follows it.

Allah, Mighty and Majestic, said:
And if you obey Allah and His Messenger, He will not deprive you from your deeds of anythingوَإِنْ تُطِيعُوا اللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُ لا يَلِتْكُمْ مِنْ أَعْمَالِكُمْ شَيْئاً
[Surah al-Hujurat: 14] :-Meaning: If you obey Allah and His Messenger by complying with the commands of Allah and His Messenger, and avoiding the prohibitions of Allah and His Messenger, then Allah will not diminish anything of your deeds; He will give them to you complete without any deficiency. It has been established that whoever comes with a good deed will have ten times its reward, up to seven hundred times, up to many times over, and whoever comes with an evil deed will be recompensed only with its like, and they will not be wronged.
