English - Hazrat Molavi Sher Ali ra
And We bestowed on him good in this world, and in the Hereafter he will surely be among the righteous.
English - Five Volume Translation
And [a]We bestowed on him good in this world, and in the Hereafter he will surely be among the righteous.[1923]
2:131; 29:28.
Commentary:
In verse 121 Abraham was mentioned as an exemplar. Here it is added that it cannot be said of him that because he did not possess material wealth, he had no reason or occasion to become corrupt. The verse removes this misconception and says that God had bestowed upon Abraham power, comfort and wealth and yet he stuck to the path of righteousness. It implies the beautiful hint that Muslims will also be granted worldly power, prestige and prosperity, and in the heyday of their glory would find in Abraham a worthy exemplar.
