وَ لَسَوْفَ یُعْطِیۡکَ رَبُّکَ فَتَرْضٰی ؕ﴿۵﴾
And indeed your Lord will soon give you so much that you will be pleased. (Allah seeks to please the Holy Prophet – peace and blessings be upon him.)
Tafsir al-Tabari تفسیر الطبری
Sayyiduna Ali, the son of Abdullah ibn Abbas, narrated from his father – may Allah be pleased with them, he said: “The Messenger of Allah – peace and blessings of Allah be upon him – has been granted (in this verse) what is to be offered to his nation after him, each and everything, it all has been mentioned in this enclosure, so Allah Almighty revealed this verse [Al-Dhuha: 5] that He has granted him a thousand mansions in paradise, and in every mansion, suitable husbands/wives and servants.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn ‘Abbas – may Allah be pleased with them: It is his intercession for his nation till he is pleased. It is also the view of Sayyiduna ‘Ali and Hasan – may Allah be pleased with them.
وَرُوِّينَا عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَمْرِو بْنِ الْعَاصِ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: اللَّهُمَّ أُمَّتِي أُمَّتِي وَبَكَى، فَقَالَ اللَّهُ: يَا جِبْرِيلُ اذْهَبْ إِلَى مُحَمَّدٍ فَقُلْ لَهُ إِنَّا سَنُرْضِيكَ فِي أمتك، ولا نسؤءك فِيهِمْ
This Hadeeth has reached us via Sayyiduna ‘Abdullah ibn ‘Amr ibn al-‘Aas – may Allah be pleased with them – that the Holy Prophet – may Allah send peace and blessings upon him – has stated, “O Allah, my Ummah! my Ummah!” and cried. Allah Almighty then stated, “O Jibreel, go to Muhammad and tell him, ‘Soon, We shall definitely please you about your Ummah and We will not sadden you about them’.”
وَقَالَ حَرْبُ بْنُ شُرَيْحٍ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا جَعْفَرٍ مُحَمَّدَ بْنَ عَلِيٍّ يَقُولُ: إِنَّكُمْ يَا مَعْشَرَ أَهْلِ الْعِرَاقِ تَقُولُونَ: أَرْجَى آيَةٍ فِي القرآن: قل يا عبادي الَّذِينَ أَسْرَفُوا عَلَى أَنْفُسِهِمْ لَا تَقْنَطُوا مِنْ رَحْمَةِ اللَّهِ، وَإِنَّا أَهْلَ الْبَيْتِ نَقُولُ: أَرْجَى آيَةٍ فِي كِتَابِ اللَّهِ وَلَسَوْفَ يُعْطِيكَ رَبُّكَ فَتَرْضَى
Sayyiduna Harb ibn Shuraih said: I heard Abu Ja’fer Muhammad ibn ‘Ali (Imam Baqir) – may Allah be pleased with them – saying, “O the people of Iraq, you say that the most hopeful verse of the Holy Quran is:
قُلْ یٰعِبَادِیَ الَّذِیۡنَ اَسْرَفُوۡا عَلٰۤی اَنۡفُسِہِمْ لَا تَقْنَطُوۡا مِنۡ رَّحْمَۃِ اللہِ ؕ اِنَّ اللہَ یَغْفِرُ الذُّنُوۡبَ جَمِیۡعًا ؕ اِنَّہٗ ہُوَ الْغَفُوۡرُ الرَّحِیۡمُ ﴿۵۳﴾
Say you, ‘O My bondmen who have committed excesses against their own souls ‘despair not of the mercy of Allah’ Undoubtedly, Allah forgives all sins, Verily He is the Forgiving, the Merciful.
(Al-Zumar 39, Verse 53)
But we, the Ahle Bayt, say that the most hopeful verse in the Devine Book of Allah is:
وَلَسَوْفَ يُعْطِيكَ رَبُّكَ فَتَرْضَى
And indeed your Lord will soon give you so much that you will be pleased. (Allah seeks to please the Holy Prophet – peace and blessings be upon him.)
(Al-Dhuha 93, Verse 5)

Tafsir al-Kabeer التفسیر الکبیر
يُرْوَى أَنَّهُ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ لَمَّا نَزَلَتْ هَذِهِ الْآيَةُ قَالَ: إِذًا لَا أَرْضَى وَوَاحِدٌ مِنْ أُمَّتِي فِي النَّارِ
The Hadeeth of the beloved Prophet – may Allah send peace and blessings upon him – is narrated that he stated when this verse was revealed: I will not be pleased even if my one Ummati is in hell.
الْأَحَادِيثُ الْكَثِيرَةُ الْوَارِدَةُ فِي الشَّفَاعَةِ دَالَّةٌ عَلَى أَنَّ رِضَا الرَّسُولِ عَلَيْهِ الصَّلَاةُ وَالسَّلَامُ فِي الْعَفْوِ عَنِ الْمُذْنِبِينَ، وَهَذِهِ الْآيَةُ دَلَّتْ عَلَى أَنَّهُ تَعَالَى يَفْعَلُ كُلَّ مَا يَرْضَاهُ الرَّسُولُ فَتَحَصَّلَ مِنْ مَجْمُوعِ الْآيَةِ وَالْخَبَرِ حُصُولُ الشَّفَاعَةِ
There are numerous Ahadeeth mentioned with regards to the intercession which prove that the pleasure of the Holy Prophet – may Allah send peace and blessings upon him – indeed lies in the forgiveness of the sinners. This verse proves that the Almighty will do everything that will please the Holy Prophet – may Allah send peace and blessings upon him – so this is the conclusion of the concept of intercession derived from the whole verse as well as the narrations.
وَعَنْ جَعْفَرٍ الصَّادِقِ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ أَنَّهُ قَالَ: رِضَاءُ جَدِّي أَنْ لَا يَدْخُلَ النَّارَ مُوَحِّدٌ
Imam Ja’fer Sadiq – may Allah be pleased with him – is reported to have said: The pleasure of my grandfather lies in the fact that none of the monotheists (who only believe in One Allah) will enter hell.
تَقُولُ الْأَنْبِيَاءُ:نَفْسِي نَفْسِي، أَيِ ابْدَأْ بِجَزَائِي وَثَوَابِي قَبْلَ أُمَّتِي، لِأَنَّ طَاعَتِي كَانَتْ قَبْلَ طَاعَةِ أُمَّتِي، وَأَنْتَ تَقُولُ: أُمَّتِي أُمَّتِي، أَيِ ابْدَأْ بِهِمْ، فَإِنَّ سُرُورِي أَنْ أَرَاهُمْ فَائِزِينَ بِثَوَابِهِمْ
(On the Day of Judgment) The Prophets – peace be upon them – will say, “(I am concerned about) myself! (I am concerned about) myself!” i.e. they will be judged according to their virtues prior to their nations, whereas the Holy Prophet – may Allah send peace and blessings upon him – will say, “My Ummah! My Ummah!” i.e. beginning with them, for his pleasures lies only in seeing them attaining success through their virtues.

وَعَنْهُ قَالَ: رَضِيَ مُحَمَّدٌ أَلَّا يَدْخُلَ أَحَدٌ مِنْ أَهْلِ بَيْتِهِ النَّارَ.
Sayyiduna Ibn ‘Abbas – may Allah be pleased with him – is reported to have said: The pleasure of Sayyiduna Muhammad – may Allah send peace and blessings upon him – lies in the fact that none of his Ahle Bayt will enter hell.
وَفِي صَحِيحِ مُسْلِمٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَمْرِو بْنِ الْعَاصِ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ تَلَا قَوْلَ اللَّهِ تَعَالَى فِي إِبْرَاهِيمَ: فَمَنْ تَبِعَنِي فَإِنَّهُ مِنِّي وَمَنْ عَصانِي فَإِنَّكَ غَفُورٌ رَحِيمٌ [إبراهيم: 36] وقول عيسى: إِنْ تُعَذِّبْهُمْ فَإِنَّهُمْ عِبادُكَ [المائدة: 118]، فَرَفَعَ يَدَيْهِ وَقَالَ: (اللَّهُمَّ أُمَّتِي أُمَّتِي) وَبَكَى. فَقَالَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى لِجِبْرِيلَ: (اذْهَبْ إِلَى مُحَمَّدٍ، وَرَبُّكَ أَعْلَمُ، فَسَلْهُ مَا يُبْكِيكَ) فَأَتَى جِبْرِيلُ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَسَأَلَ فَأَخْبَرَهُ. فَقَالَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى لِجِبْرِيلَ: [اذْهَبْ إِلَى مُحَمَّدٍ، فَقُلْ لَهُ: إِنَّ اللَّهَ يَقُولُ لَكَ: إِنَّا سنرضيك في أمتك وَلَا نَسُوءُكَ ].
It is mentioned in Sahih Muslim narrated by Sayyiduna ‘Sayyiduna Abdullah ibn ‘Amr ibn Al-‘Aas – may Allah be pleased with them – that the Holy Prophet – may Allah send peace and blessings upon him – recited the statement of Allah Almighty about Sayyiduna Ibrahim (who said the following to Allah Almighty):
فَمَنْ تَبِعَنِي فَإِنَّهُ مِنِّي وَمَنْ عَصانِي فَإِنَّكَ غَفُورٌ رَحِيمٌ
Then who sided with me is mine and who disobeyed me, then you are certainly Forgiving, Merciful.
(Ibrahim 14, Verse 36)
And the following words of Sayyiduna ‘Isa – peace be upon him:
إِنْ تُعَذِّبْهُمْ فَإِنَّهُمْ عِبادُكَ
If You punish them, they are Your bondmen.
(Al-Ma’idah 5, Verse 118)
He then raised his hands and said, “O Allah, my Ummah! My Ummah!” and cried, so Allah Almighty said to Sayyiduna Jibreel – peace be upon him, “O Jibreel, go to Muhammad and tell him, ‘Indeed Allah Almighty says to you, Soon, We shall definitely please you about your Ummah and We will not sadden you about them’.”

Sayyiduna Harb ibn Shuraih – may Allah be pleased with him –reported: I said to Abu Ja’fer Muhammad ibn ‘Ali ibn Husain – may Allah be pleased with them, “What is your opinion about this intercession under discussion? Do the people of Iraq deserve it?” He replied, “Yes, I swear by Allah! My uncle Sayyiduna Muhammad ibn al-Hanafiyyah narrated the Hadeeth from Sayyiduna ‘Ali – may Allah be pleased with them – that the Messenger of Allah – may Allah send peace and blessings upon him – has stated: I will intercede for my Ummah until my Lord calls me, “Are you pleased, O Muhammad?” I will then respond, “Yes, my Lord, I am pleased.”
