Saad • EN-TAFSIR-IBN-ABBAS
﴿ وَإِنَّهُمْ عِندَنَا لَمِنَ ٱلْمُصْطَفَيْنَ ٱلْأَخْيَارِ ﴾
“And, behold, in Our sight they were indeed among the elect, the truly good!”
(Lo! in Our sight they are verily of the elect, the excellent) they are selected in the life of the world for prophethood and Islam and they are excellent in Allah's sight on the Day of Judgement.
