34.Surah Saba'

The Quranic Text & Ali’s Version:

لِيَجْزِيَ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَعَمِلُوا الصَّالِحَاتِ...

34: 4. That He may reward those who believe and work deeds of righteousness:

... أُوْلَئِكَ لَهُم مَّغْفِرَةٌ وَرِزْقٌ كَرِيمٌ ﴿٤﴾

for such is Forgiveness and a Sustenance Most Generous."

C3791. "Sustenance": Spiritual in things spiritual, and physical in things physical.

It implies not only the satisfaction of desire, but the provision of means for sustaining the ground won and for winning more ground in the march of progress.

Asad’s Version:

(34:4) to the end that He may reward those who believe and do righteous deeds: [for] it is they whom forgiveness of sins awaits, and a most excellent sustenance 3 – [[3 See note 5 on 8:4. ]]
