Sura-34 [Saba Mecca 58]

The Quranic Text & Ali’s version:

لِيَجْزِيَ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَعَمِلُوا الصَّالِحَاتِ...

34:4. That He may reward those who believe and work deeds of righteousness:

... أُوْلَئِكَ لَهُم مَّغْفِرَةٌ وَرِزْقٌ كَرِيمٌ ﴿٤﴾

for such is Forgiveness and a Sustenance Most Generous."

C3791. "Sustenance": Spiritual in things spiritual, and physical in things physical.

It implies not only the satisfaction of desire, but the provision of means for sustaining the ground won and for winning more ground in the march of progress.

Asad’s Version:

34:3 And yet, they who are bent on denying the truth assert, "Never will the Last Hour come upon Say: "Nay, by my Sustainer! By Him who knows all that is beyond the reach of a created being's perception: it will most certainly come upon you! " Not an atom's weight [of whatever there is] in the heavens or on earth escapes His knowledge; and neither is there anything smaller than that, or larger, but is recorded in [His] clear decree,

(34:4) to the end that He may reward those who believe and do righteous deeds: [for] it is they whom forgiveness of sins awaits, and a most excellent sustenance 3 – [[3 See note 5 on 8:4. ]]
