Abbas - Tanwîr al-Miqbâs min Tafsîr Ibn ‘Abbâs
(Only those believe in Our revelations) in Muhammad (pbuh) and in the Qur'an (who, when they are reminded of them) invited through them to perform the five daily prayers with the call to prayer and the call announcing the start of the prayer, (fall down prostrate) they come in all humility (and hymn the praise of their Lord) and pray by the command of their Lord, (and they are not scornful) they are not too proud to believe in Muhammad (pbuh) and in the Qur'an or too proud to pray in congregation. This verse was revealed about the hypocrites who were sluggish in their coming to the congregational prayer.
Only those believe in Our signs such as the Qur’ān who when they are reminded of them admonished with them fall down in prostration and make glorifications ensconced in praise of their Lord in other words they say ‘Glory be to God through His praise’ subhāna’Llāh wa-bi-hāmdihi and they do not disdain to believe and to obey.
(and glorify the praises of their Lord, and they are not proud.) means, they are not too proud to follow them and submit to them, unlike the ignorant among the rebellious disbelievers. Allah says:
(Verily, those who scorn My worship, they will surely enter Hell in humiliation!) (40:60). Then Allah says:
تَتَجَافَى جُنُوبُهُمْ عَنِ الْمَضَاجِعِ
(Their sides forsake their beds,) meaning, they pray the voluntary night prayer and forego sleep and resting on a comfortable bed. Mujahid and Al-Hasan said that the Ayah
تَتَجَافَى جُنُوبُهُمْ عَنِ الْمَضَاجِعِ
(Their sides forsake their beds, ) refers to voluntary night prayer. Ad-Dahhak said, "It refers to Salat Al-`Isha' in congregation and Salat Al-Fajr in congregation.
يَدْعُونَ رَبَّهُمْ خَوْفاً وَطَمَعاً
(to invoke their Lord in fear and hope,) means, in fear of His punishment and in hope of His reward.
وَمِمَّا رَزَقْنَـهُمْ يُنفِقُونَ
(and they spend out of what We have bestowed on them.) means, they do both obligatory and supererogatory acts of worship. Their leader in this world and the Hereafter is the Messenger of Allah. Imam Ahmad recorded that Mu`adh bin Jabal said, "I was with the Messenger of Allah on a journey one morning, walking near him. I said, `O Prophet of Allah, tell me of a deed that will grant me admittance to Paradise and keep me away from Hell.' He said:
(You have asked about something great, and it is easy for the one for whom Allah makes it easy. Worship Allah and do not associate anything with Him, establish regular prayer, pay Zakah, fast Ramadan and perform pilgrimage to the House.) Then he said:
(Shall I not tell you of the gates of goodness Fasting is a shield, charity wipes out sin, and the prayer of a man in the depths of the night.) Then he recited:
تَتَجَافَى جُنُوبُهُمْ عَنِ الْمَضَاجِعِ
(Their sides forsake their beds,) until he reached
جَزَآءً بِمَا كَانُواْ يَعْمَلُونَ
(as a reward for what they used to do.) Then he said:
(May your mother be bereft of you, O Mu`adh! Will the people be thrown into Hell -- (or he said) on their faces -- except because of what their tongues say) It was also recorded by At-Tirmidhi, An-Nasa'i and Ibn Majah in their Sunans. At-Tirmidhi said, "It is Hasan Sahih.''
(No person knows what is kept hidden for them of delights of eyes) means, no one knows the vastness of what Allah has concealed for them of everlasting joy in Paradise and delights such as no one has ever seen. Because they conceal their good deeds, Allah conceals the reward for them, a fitting reward which will suit their deeds. Al-Hasan Al-Basri said, "If people conceal their good deeds, Allah will conceal for them what no eye has seen and what has never crossed the mind of man. It was recorded by Ibn Abi Hatim. Al-Bukhari quoted the Ayah: d
(No person knows what is kept hidden for them of delights of eyes) Then he recorded that Abu Hurayrah, may Allah be pleased with him, said that the Messenger of Allah said:
(Allah says: "I have prepared for My righteous servants what no eye has seen, no ear has heard, and it has never crossed the mind of man.'') Abu Hurayrah said: "Recite, if you wish:
(No person knows what is kept hidden for them of delights of eyes.) It was also recorded by Muslim and At-Tirmidhi. At-Tirmidhi said, "It is Hasan Sahih.'' In another version of Al-Bukhari:
("and no body has ever even imagined of. All that is reserved, besides which, all that you have seen is nothing.'') It was also reported from Abu Hurayrah, may Allah be pleased with him, that the Prophet said:
(Whoever enters Paradise, will enjoy a life of luxury and never feel deprivation, his clothes will never wear out, his youth will never fade. In Paradise there is what no eye has ever seen, no ear has ever heard, and has never crossed the mind of man.) This was recorded by Muslim.

Maududi - Sayyid Abul Ala Maududi - Tafhim al-Qur'an
In other words, they do not regard it as below their dignity to give up their false notions and believe in Allah's Revelations and adopt His service and obedience. Their conceit does not hinder them from accepting the truth and obeying their Lord.
That is, "They worship their Lord instead of enjoying sensuous pleasures at night. They are not like the world-worshipers, who seek entertainments in music and dancing, drinking and merry-making, in the night in order to get relief from the day's fatigue and labor and toil. Instead, when they are free from their day's work and duties, they devote themselves to the adoration of their Lord, spend their nights in His remembrance, tremble out of fear of Him, and pin all their hopes on Him." "Who forsake their beds" does not mean that they do not sleep at all at night, but that they spend a part of the night in Allah's worship.
In the original, rizq: lawful provisions. Unlawful provisions have nowhere been called rizq by Allah. The verse therefore means: They spend from whatever little or much of pure provisions We have given them; they do not overspend and do not grab unlawful wealth in order to meet their expenses.
Bukhari, Muslim, Tirmidhi and Imam Ahmad have in different ways cited on the authority of Hadrat Abu Hurairah that the Holy Prophet said: "Allah says: I have got ready for My righteous servants that which has neither been seen by the eye, nor heard by the ear, nor ever conceived by any man. " The same thing has been reported with a little difference in wording by Hadrat Abu Sa' id Khudri, Mughirah bin Shu`bah and Sahl bin Sa'd as-Sai'di from the Holy Prophet and related with authentic links by Muslim. Ahmed, Ibn Jarir and Tirmidhi.
Here mu min (believer) and Fasiq (sinner) have been used as two contrasting terms. Mu 'min is he who believes in Allah as his Lord and the One and only Deity and adopts obedience of the Law which Allah has sent down through His Prophets. Contrary to this, Fasiq is he who adopts the attitude of fisq (disobedience, rebellion, independence and obedience to others than Allah).
That is, "They can neither have the same way of thinking and life in the world nor can they be treated alike by God in the Hereafter."
That is, "The Gardens will not merely be a means of entertainment for them, but the same will be their dwelling-places in which they will live for ever.
Only those believe in Our signs, who, when they are reminded of them, fall down in prostration…He said:The servant will not experience the joy of faith until his knowledge vanquishes his ignorance, ⸢his [awareness of] the Hereafter dominates⸣ his heart, his compassion ⸢rules over his anger, and mercy is upon his heart.⸣ His words, Exalted is He:
