Al-Baqara • EN-KASHANI-TAFSIR
﴿ وَمِنَ ٱلنَّاسِ مَن يَشْرِى نَفْسَهُ ٱبْتِغَآءَ مَرْضَاتِ ٱللَّهِ ۗ وَٱللَّهُ رَءُوفٌۢ بِٱلْعِبَادِ ﴾
“But there is [also] a kind of man who would willingly sell his own self in order to please God: and God is most compassionate towards His servants.”
[But there are other men who] sell themselves, desiring God's pleasure, who expend themselves in wayfaring upon the path of God seeking His satisfaction.
