Transliteration:( Liyudkhilal mu'mineena walmu'minaati jannaatin tajree min tahtihal anhaaru khaalideena feehaa wa yukaffira 'anhum saiyi aatihim; wa kaana zaalika 'indal laahi fawzan 'azeemaa )
"That He may cause the believing men and the believing women to enter the gardens [11] underneath which streams flow, to reside therein, [12] acquitting them of their evils. And this is a great success [13] in the Sight of Allah." (Kanzul Imaan Translation)
So that the believers express gratitude for this victory, and through this gratitude, they become deserving of Paradise. In this way, the Conquest of Makkah is a result of gratitude, and gratitude becomes the means of attaining Jannah.
This refers to the Treaty of Hudaibiyyah, Bay’at al-Ridwan, and eventually the Conquest of Makkah — all of which served as means for the forgiveness of the believers.
This is the kind of success that is beneficial in the Hereafter and advantageous in the world. Observe how the Companions are remembered with great honour in this world, and in the Hereafter, they shall be granted the highest levels of respect and reward.
The tafsir of Surah Fath verse 5 by Ibn Kathir is unavailable here.
Please refer to Surah Fath ayat 4 which provides the complete commentary from verse 4 through 7.
(48:5) (He did this) to admit the believers, both men and women,[9] to Gardens beneath which rivers flow, wherein they shall abide, and to efface their evil deeds from them.[10] That, in Allah’s sight, is the supreme triumph.
9. In the Quran generally mention of the rewards for the believers is made collectively and separate mention is not made of the rewards for the men and the women. But here, since the general mention of giving the rewards could cause the doubt that this reward may perhaps be only meant for the men. Allah has made a separate mention of the believing women, saying that they too would be equal partners in this reward with the believing men. The reason is obvious. Those God-fearing women who encouraged their husbands, sons, brothers and fathers to proceed on the dangerous journey instead of stopping them from it and discouraging them by crying and wailing, who looked after their houses, their properties, their honor and children in their absence faithfully, who did not even feel the alarm lest at the sudden departure of 1,400 of the companions the disbelievers and hypocrites of the surrounding areas would attack the city, should certainly have become equal partners with their men in the reward of jihad although they stayed behind in their homes.
10. That is, that He may pardon whatever errors they might have committed because of human weaknesses, remove every trace and mark of the errors from them before admitting them into Paradise so that they may enter Paradise absolutely free from every evil that may cause them embarrassment.
