29/58-59

وَٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ وَعَمِلُوا۟ ٱلصَّٰلِحَٰتِ لَنُبَوِّئَنَّهُم مِّنَ ٱلْجَنَّةِ غُرَفًا تَجْرِى مِن تَحْتِهَا ٱلْأَنْهَٰرُ خَٰلِدِينَ فِيهَا نِعْمَ أَجْرُ ٱلْعَٰمِلِينَ · ٱلَّذِينَ صَبَرُوا۟ وَعَلَىٰ رَبِّهِمْ يَتَوَكَّلُونَ

"Those who believe and do righteous deeds — We shall settle them in chambers of the Garden beneath which rivers flowHow excellent is the wage of those who work! They are those who are patient and who rely upon their Lord."

لَنُبَوِّئَنَّهُم — root ب-و-أ: to settle in a place, to give lodging. The word conveys the preparing of a place to dwell in.

غُرَف — chambers. The same word was treated at al-Zumar 39/20 (ghurafun min fawqihā ghurafun mabniyya) and it was recorded there: the recompense is described by a structure of storey upon storey. I rely on that treatment.

And the place of the verse is worth recording: in the fifty-sixth verse the call to migrate had been made (inna arḍī wāsiʿa). This verse promises a dwelling to the one who leaves his own. I give this as my own reading; its ground is the order of the verses.

ٱلَّذِينَ صَبَرُوا۟ وَعَلَىٰ رَبِّهِمْ يَتَوَكَّلُونَ — two attributes: patience and reliance.

And the sequence must be recorded: ṣabarū (perfect — done in the past) and yatawakkalūn (imperfect — ongoing). That is, one is a completed endurance, the other a continuing trust.
