Tafsir of verse 86
Al-Mukhtasar
He further said: The lawful that Allah leaves for you after giving people their rights in full and with fairness is of more benefit and contains more blessing than the extra obtained through giving short measure and spreading corruption on earth. If you are indeed believers, then be content with that remainder. It is not my duty to watch over you, record your actions and hold you to account for them. The One Who watches over you is the One Who knows all secrets and private conversations.
What remains from the provision of Allah is far better50, if you are [true] believers; I am not a keeper over you.”
Notes
[50] Whatever is left after giving full measure is better and purer than what is fraudulently gained.
"That which is left by Allâh for you (after giving the rights of the people) is better for you, if you are believers. And I am not a guardian over you.
That which Allah leaveth with you is better for you if ye are believers; and I am not a keeper over you.
"That which is left you by Allah is best for you, if ye (but) believed! but I am not set over you to keep watch!"
What remains with Allah is better for you if you are believers, and I am not a keeper over you.
The remainder of Allah is most charitable for you, in case you are believers; and in no way am I a constant preserver over you."
Say, "Not equal are the evil and the good, although the abundance of evil might impress you." So fear Allāh, O you of understanding, that you may be successful.

[Fasting for] a limited number of days. So whoever among you is ill or on a journey [during them] - then an equal number of other days [are to be made up].

But to fast is best for you, if you only knew.
And their prophet said to them, "Indeed, a sign of his kingship is that the chest will come to you in which is assurance from your Lord and a remnant of what the family of Moses and the family of Aaron had left, carried by the angels. Indeed in that is a sign for you, if you are believers."
And if someone is in hardship, then [let there be] postponement until [a time of] ease. But if you give [from your right as] charity, then it is better for you, if you only knew.

And I cure the blind [from birth] and the leper, and I give life to the dead - by permission of Allāh. And I inform you of what you eat and what you store in your houses. Indeed in that is a sign for you, if you are believers.
There has come to you enlightenment from your Lord. So whoever will see does so for [the benefit of] his soul, and whoever is blind [does harm] against it. And [say], "I am not a guardian over you."
