وَأَنزَلَ لَكُم مِّنَ ٱلۡأَنۡعَٰمِ ثَمَٰنِيَةَ أَزۡوَٰجٖۚ

They are mentioned in Surat Al-An'am, (They are eight mates: a pair of sheep and a pair of goats), (and a pair of camels and a pair of cattle) [6:143,144]. Allah singled these out for mention, even though He also bestowed other animals upon His servants to serve their interests, because of their many benefits, for man finds many of his needs through them. Moreover, because of their honor, as they were singled out for certain purposes and no other animals can serve in their place - such as the Eid sacrifice, Hajj sacrifice, the sacrifice for the newborn, the fact that zakah applies to them, and because they may be given as blood money. Al-Saadi: 719.
Question: Among all animals, Allah singles out these eight types for mention. Why?

ذَٰلِكُمُ ٱللَّهُ رَبُّكُمۡ لَهُ ٱلۡمُلۡكُۖ

The attribute of Lordship is mentioned as a reminder to them of the blessing of creation and provision, which is the meaning of Lordship. Moreover, it is a prelude for affirming their disbelief in the next verse, (If you disbelieve, then Allah is in no need of you, but He does not approve of disbelief for His servants). Ibn Ashur: 23/336.
Question: This verse mentions Allah's attribute of Lordship. Why?

أَمَّنۡ هُوَ قَٰنِتٌ ءَانَآءَ ٱلَّيۡلِ سَاجِدٗا وَقَآئِمٗا يَحۡذَرُ ٱلۡأٓخِرَةَ وَيَرۡجُواْ رَحۡمَةَ رَبِّهِۦۗ

The night is singled out for their prayer, because worship at nighttime stimulates the heart to remember Allah, is free of pretension, and indicates that worshiping Allah is preferred over comfort and going to sleep, as nighttime calls for rest, and when someone chooses worship instead, his heart becomes enlightened with the love to be closer to Allah. Allah says, (Indeed, worship at night is more effective and more conducive to proper recitation). Ibn Ashur: 23/346.
Question: This verse singles out the night for the prayer. Why?

لِلَّذِينَ أَحۡسَنُواْ فِي هَٰذِهِ ٱلدُّنۡيَا حَسَنَةٞۗ وَأَرۡضُ ٱللَّهِ وَٰسِعَةٌۗ

The text is general in meaning that anyone who does good will have good in this world - so what about those who believe in a land where they are persecuted and humiliated, and they do not get that good in this world? Therefore, this notion is warded off by the words, (Allah's earth is spacious). Allah states that His earth is spacious, so whenever you are prevented from worshiping Him in one place, then migrate to somewhere else.Al-Saadi: 721.
Question: After mentioning that whoever does good will have good, Allah mentions that His earth is spacious. Why?

إِنَّمَا يُوَفَّى ٱلصَّٰبِرُونَ أَجۡرَهُم بِغَيۡرِ حِسَابٖ ١٠

Ali (t) said: "Every obedient believer will be rewarded according to measure and scale, except those who are patient; their reward will be dispersed to them without account." It is narrated: "The people who were afflicted will be brought, where no scale nor account will be set up for them, rather, their reward will be poured over them without account until the people who were safe in worldly life will wish that their bodies were cut with clippers in order to be rewarded the same as those who were afflicted." Al-Baghawi: 4/9.
Question: Allah will reward those who are patient without account. How?
