Tafsir

And those who believed (wa'lladheena aamanoo, the subject) and whom We made to be followed (waatba'naahum: a variant reading has wa'ttaba'athum, 'and there followed them', as a supplement to aamanoo, 'who believed') by their descendants (dhurreeyaatihim: a variant reading [for this plural] has dhurreeyatuhum), young and old, in faith, on the part of the older ones and on the part of the parents in [their] young ones (the predicate [of the subject above] is [the following, alhaqnaa bihim), We will make their, mentioned, descendants join them, in the Paradise, so that they are in the same degree [of reward], even though they might not have performed the same [meritorious] deeds as them [to deserve this equal status], a way of honouring the parents by having their children join them [again]; and We will not deprive them (read alatnaahum or alitnaahum), [We will not] diminish [them], of anything (min shay'in: min is extra) of their deeds, in order to add it to the deeds of their children. Every man is subject to what he has earned, of good or evil deeds, and will be requited for evil and rewarded for good.
