17. Those who show patience,Firmness and self control;Who are true ( in word and deed); Who worship devoutly; Who spend ( in the way of Allah); And who pray for forgiveness In the early hours of the morning
Commentary
357.True Servants of Allah are described in 3:16 & 17.They have faith,humility and hope (3:16); and they have certain virtues (3:17) viz., (1) patience,steadfastness,self restraint, and all that goes under the full definition of sabr: this shows a certain attitude of mind; (2) in all their dealings they are true and sincere as they are also in their promises and words; this marks them out in social conduct; (3) further, their spiritual worship is earnest and deep, an inner counterpart of their outward conduct; (4) their worship of Allah shows itself in their love of fellow men, for they are ready and liberal in charity; and (5) their self discipline is so great the first thing they do every morning is humbly to approach their God.
