(1) Regarding the saying: That I return him with reward or spoil, or admit him to Paradise: Al-Tayyibi said: ‘Or spoil’ is conjoined with ‘reward,’ and ‘admit him’ with ‘return him,’ as the predicate of ‘that.’ The meaning is: Allah answers the one who goes out in His way, either returning him to his home with reward alone, reward with spoil, or being martyred and entering Paradise. [Al-Marqah]

(١)قوله: أن أرجعه بما نال من أجر أو غنيمة وأدخله الجنة: قال الطيبي: قوله: (أو غنيمة) عطف على (أجر) و (أدخله)على (أرجعه). فيكون صلة (أن). والتقدير: إن الله تعالى أجاب، الخارج في سبيله، إما بأن يرجعه إلى مسكنه مع أجربلا غنيمة، أو أجر مع غنيمة، وإما أن يستشهد فيدخله الجنة. كذا في (المرقاة).
