Except those who are devoted to Salah
man is described with blameworthy characteristics except for He whom Allah protects, helps and guides to good, making its means easy for him -- and these are those people who perform Salah.
Those who with their Salah are Da'imun
they guard its times and the elements obligatory in it. This has been said by Ibn Mas`ud, Masruq and Ibrahim An-Nakha`i. It has also been said that it means tranquility and humble concentration (in the prayer). Similar to:
Successful indeed are the believers. Those who with their Salah are Khashi`un
This was said by `Uqbah bin `Amir. From its meanings is the same terminology used to describe standing (still) water (Al-Ma' Ad-Da'im). This proves the obligation of having tranquility in the prayer. For verily, the one who does not have tranquility (stillness of posture) in his bowing and prostrating, then he is not being constant (Da'im) in his prayer. This is because he is not being still in it and he does not remain (in its positions), rather he pecks in it (quickly) like the pecking of the crow. Therefore, he is not successful in performing his prayer. It has also been said that the meaning here refers to those who perform a deed and are constant in its performance and consistent in it. This is like the Hadith that has been recorded in the Sahih on the authority of `A'ishah that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said,
The most beloved deeds to Allah are those that are most consistent, even if they are few.
And those in whose wealth there is a recognized right. For the one who asks, and for the deprived.
in their wealth is a determined portion for those who are in need.
And those who believe in the Day of Recompense.
they are sure of the Final Return (to Allah), the Reckoning and the Recompense. Therefore, they perform the deeds of one who hopes for the reward and fears the punishment
And those who fear the torment of their Lord.
they are fearful and dreadful
Verily, the torment of their Lord is that before which none can feel secure.
no one is safe from it (Allah's torment) of those who understand the command from Allah, except by the security of Allah Himself
And those who guard their private part (chastity)
they keep their private parts away from that which is forbidden and they prevent their private parts from being put into other than what Allah has allowed them to be in.
Except from their wives or their right hand possessions
(for (then) they are not blameworthy. But whosoever seeks beyond that, then it is those who are trespassers.)
And those who keep their trusts and covenants.
if they are given a trust they do not deceit and when they make a covenant they do not break it. These are the characteristics of the believers which are opposite of the characteristics of the hypocrites.
And those who stand firm in their testimonies
They guard their testimonies. They do not add or decrease from what they testify to nor do they conceal their testimonies.
Who hides it, surely, his heart is sinful
And those who are with their Salah, Yuhafizun
they maintain its proper times, its pillars, its obligations and its recommended acts. So Allah begins this discussion (of the believers' attributes) with prayer and He concludes it with prayer. This proves the importance of it and the praise of its noble status,
Such shall dwell in the Gardens, honored.
they will be honored with various types of pleasures and delights.
