Tafsir al-Tustari

‘Eat and drink in enjoyment [as a reward] for what you did formerly in days gone by.’This is referring to fasting during the month of Ramadan and during the days of the full moon. It has been mentioned in a ḥadīth that on the Day of Reckoning, tables spread with food will be placed before those believers who devoted themselves to fasting (ṣawwām), from which they will eat. [Others] will say, ‘O Lord, people are standing for the Reckoning who are not eating.’ They will be told, ‘[These people] used to fast at length during the life of the world, while you ate your fill, and they would stay up at night in prayer while you took your rest.’
