* تفسير Tafsir al-Jalalayn

{ فَٱتَّقُواْ ٱللَّهَ مَا ٱسْتَطَعْتُمْ وَٱسْمَعُواْ وَأَطِيعُواْ وَأَنْفِقُواْ خَيْراً لأَنفُسِكُمْ وَمَن يُوقَ شُحَّ نَفْسِهِ فَأُوْلَـٰئِكَ هُمُ ٱلْمُفْلِحُونَ }

So fear God as far as you can — this abrogates His saying Fear God as He should be feared Q. 3102 — and listen to what you have been enjoined to listening disposed to accept and obey and expend in obedience to Him; that is better for your souls khayran li-anfusikum is the predicate of an implied yakun ‘that is’ and the response to the imperative. And whoever is shielded from the avarice of his own soul such are the successful the winners.
