Transliteration:( Fa asaabahumul laahu bimaa qaaloo Jannnaatin tajree min tahtihal anhaaru khaalideena feehaa; wa zaalika jazaaa'ul muhsineen )
"So, Allah rewarded them for what they said with gardens beneath which rivers flow, where they will abide forever. And that is the reward of the doers of good [239]."
This verse shows that Allah accepts even the smallest good, if done sincerely. The Abyssinian deputation was forgiven for just one truthful reply in faith. Their words earned them Paradise and eternal reward. It teaches that even a single sincere utterance can become the cause of complete forgiveness. May Allah grant us pardon by their blessing.
