The Shaykh : Then, Mighty and Majestic is He, He moved on to the righteous, who are the opposite of the disbelievers and the wicked, and He said: [Al-Insan 76:5-6] And Allah the Exalted lengthened the description of the reward of the righteous because Allah the Exalted detailed their deeds, so He said: [Al-Insan 76:7-10] So you will find that Allah, Mighty and Majestic, detailed their deeds. And corresponding to this detail in the deeds was that He corresponded to it with a detail in the reward. As for the disbelievers, Allah mentioned their deeds in a general manner, so He mentioned their reward in a general manner. And this is from the eloquence of the Qur'an.

The Shaykh : Because Allah detailed the deeds of the righteous in several verses [Al-Insan 76:9] [Al-Insan 76:10] He mentioned multiple deeds, so corresponding to that was that He mentioned their reward in detail, just as He mentioned their deeds in detail. As for the disbelievers, their deeds were mentioned in a general manner, and corresponding to that was that He mentioned their reward in a general manner.

إن الأبرار يشربون من كأس كان مزاجها كافوراً عينا يشرب بها عباد الله يفجرونها تفجيراً(7) They [are those who] fulfill [their] vows and fear a Day whose evil will be widespread.

(10) Indeed, We fear from our Lord a Day austere and distressful."
