من عمل سيية فلا يجزى الا مثلها ومن عمل صالحا من ذكر او انثى وهو مومن فاولايك يدخلون الجنة يرزقون فيها بغير حساب ٤٠
مَنْ عَمِلَ سَيِّئَةًۭ فَلَا يُجْزَىٰٓ إِلَّا مِثْلَهَا ۖ وَمَنْ عَمِلَ صَـٰلِحًۭا مِّن ذَكَرٍ أَوْ أُنثَىٰ وَهُوَ مُؤْمِنٌۭ فَأُو۟لَـٰٓئِكَ يَدْخُلُونَ ٱلْجَنَّةَ يُرْزَقُونَ فِيهَا بِغَيْرِ حِسَابٍۢ ٤٠

وَهُوَ
مُؤۡمِنٞ
فَأُوْلَٰٓئِكَ
