Allah says: "And he entered his garden while he was unjust to himself," meaning: through his shirk (polytheism). "He said, 'I do not think,'" meaning: I do not believe with certainty, "'that this will ever perish,'" meaning: come to an end. Al-Hasan's interpretation is: He does not mean that it will not perish and disappear; rather, he means that he will live in it until he has consumed it throughout his life.
