لَٰكِنِ ٱلرَّسُولُ وَٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ مَعَهُۥ جَٰهَدُواْ بِأَمۡوَٰلِهِمۡ وَأَنفُسِهِمۡۚ وَأُوْلَـٰٓئِكَ لَهُمُ ٱلۡخَيۡرَٰتُۖ وَأُوْلَـٰٓئِكَ هُمُ ٱلۡمُفۡلِحُونَ
But the messenger and those who believe with him have struggled with their wealth and their lives. And those – for them (there are) the good things, and those – they are the ones who prosper.
أَعَدَّ ٱللَّهُ لَهُمۡ جَنَّـٰتٖ تَجۡرِي مِن تَحۡتِهَا ٱلۡأَنۡهَٰرُ خَٰلِدِينَ فِيهَاۚ ذَٰلِكَ ٱلۡفَوۡزُ ٱلۡعَظِيمُ
God has prepared for them Gardens through which rivers flow, there to remain. That is the great triumph!
"89. For them Allah has prepared Gardens (Paradise) under which rivers flow, to dwell therein forever. That is the supreme success."
After Allah mentioned the sins of the hypocrites, He praised the faithful believers and described their reward in the Hereafter,
{But the Messenger and those who believed with him strove hard and fought}
until the end of these two Ayat (9:88-89). This describes the qualities, as well as, the reward of faithful believers. Allah said,
{Such are they for whom are the good things}, in the Hereafter, in the gardens of Al-Firdaws and the high grades.
