The tafsir of Surah Al-A’raf verse 147 by Ibn Kathir is unavailable here.
Please refer to Surah A’raf ayat 146 which provides the complete commentary from verse 146 through 147.
105. That the acts of such persons are vain and fruitless is evident from the fact that the acceptance of man’s acts by God is subject to two conditions. First, one’s acts should conform to the Law laid down by God. Second, man should be prompted by the desire to achieve success in the Hereafter rather than merely in this world. If these conditions are not fulfilled, a person’s acts will be of no consequence. He who performs an act in defiance of God’s guidance, is guilty of rebellion and is undeserving of God’s reward. He who acts only to obtain worldly success, is neither entitled to nor should expect any reward from God in the Hereafter. If someone uses another person’s land contrary to his wish, what else can he expect from him than punishment? The same holds true for he who deliberately uses someone’s land, knowing well that he is not entitled to any produce after the restoration of that land to its owner. There is no justification for him to expect any share of the produce of that land.
