Commentary on al-Jalalain's Tafsir: “Our Lord, and admit them into the Gardens of Eden” — the establishment of “(those) whom You have promised, and those who have done good” is a conjunction to “them” in “admit them” or

And regarding His saying:
with whoever were righteous among their fathers, their spouses and their descendants ومن صلح من آبائهم وأزواجهم وذرياتهم
[Ar-Ra'd 13:23]
“and those who have done good” he says: “It is a conjunction to
They هم
in ‘admit them’ or in ‘promised’”
.
and whoever was righteous among their fathers, their spouses and their offspring. Indeed, it is You who is the Exalted in Might, the Wise. ومن صلح من آبائهم وأزواجهم وذرياتهم إنك أنت العزيز الحكيم
[Ghafir 40:8]
. This is a good precaution where they said:
and those who have done good ومن صلح
Transgression in supplication is when a person supplicates with what is not possible by Shari'ah or by sense. Whoever supplicates to Allah the Exalted with what is not possible by Shari'ah or by sense has transgressed in supplication. If we added “or by custom,” it is still transgression. If one asked Allah the Exalted to bring out a child for him from the wall of his house, that would be transgression in supplication. If one asked Allah the Exalted to make him a prophet, that would be transgression in supplication, because that is not possible by Shari'ah. If one asked Allah to make the heavens and the earth in his hand, that would be transgression in supplication because it is not possible by reason. So, what is not possible by Shari'ah, or by reason, or by custom, or by sense, one does not supplicate to Allah with it, because this is transgression in supplication. Here, Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He, says:
with whoever were righteous among their fathers ومن صلح من آبائهم
[Ar-Ra'd 13:23]
If they had said “their fathers,” there would be a type of transgression, since the fathers of these people might be polytheists, disbelievers, who do not deserve to enter Paradise. So He says:
with whoever were righteous among their fathers, their spouses ومن صلح من آبائهم وأزواجهم
[Ar-Ra'd 13:23]
and their offspring وذرياتهم
“their offspring” is the plural of offspring. So they mentioned the ancestors, the descendants, and the in-laws. The ancestors and descendants are fathers and offspring, and the in-laws are wives.
Indeed, You are the Exalted in Might, the Wise." إنك أنت العزيز الحكيم
[Al-Baqarah 2:129]
This is a new sentence intended to seek nearness to Allah the Exalted by His might and wisdom that He fulfill this supplication or this for which they are supplicating.
