﴿وَأما الَّذين سعدوا﴾ إِلَى قَوْلِهِ ﷿: ﴿إِلا مَا شَاءَ رَبك﴾ يَعْنِي: مَا سَبَقَهُمْ بِهِ الَّذِينَ دَخَلُوا قَبْلَهُمْ؛ قَالَ: ﴿وَسِيقَ الَّذِينَ اتَّقَوْا رَبَّهُمْ إِلَى الْجَنَّةِ زُمَرًا﴾ قَالَ: زُمْرَةٌ تَدْخُلُ بَعْدَ الزُّمْرَةِ.
وَفِي تَفْسِيرِ السُّدِّيِّ: ﴿إِلا مَا شَاءَ رَبك﴾ يَعْنِي: مَا نَقَصَ لأَهْلِ التَّوْحِيدِ الَّذِينَ أُخْرِجُوا مِنَ النَّارِ.
﴿عَطَاءً غير مجذوذ﴾ أَي: غير مَقْطُوع.
