"And those who migrated for the sake of Allah" to Medina, "after they were wronged" after the polytheists wronged them, "and were driven out of their homes" from Mecca, "We will surely settle them in this world in a good place," meaning: Medina; in the tafsir of Qatada. "And the reward of the Hereafter" Paradise "is greater" than this world, "if they only knew," they would have known that Paradise is better than this world.
﴿وَالَّذين هَاجرُوا فِي الله﴾ إِلَى الْمَدِينَةِ ﴿مِنْ بَعْدِ مَا ظلمُوا﴾ مِنْ بَعْدِ مَا ظَلَمَهُمُ الْمُشْرِكُونَ ﴿وأخرجوا دِيَارِهِمْ﴾ مِنْ مَكَّةَ ﴿لَنُبَوِّئَنَّهُمْ فِي الدُّنْيَا حَسَنَة﴾ يَعْنِي: الْمَدِينَةَ؛ فِي تَفْسِيرِ قَتَادَةَ ﴿ولأجر الْآخِرَة﴾ الْجنَّة ﴿أكبر﴾ مِنَ الدُّنْيَا ﴿لَوْ كَانُوا يَعْلَمُونَ﴾ لَعَلِمُوا أَنَّ الْجَنَّةَ خيرٌ مِنَ الدُّنْيَا.
