Rewarded Twice
أُوْلَـٰٓئِكَ يُؤۡتَوۡنَ أَجۡرَهُم مَّرَّتَيۡنِ بِمَا صَبَرُواْ وَيَدۡرَءُونَ بِٱلۡحَسَنَةِ ٱلسَّيِّئَةَ وَمِمَّا رَزَقۡنَٰهُمۡ يُنفِقُونَ ٥٤
These will be given their reward twice over, because they are steadfast and repel evil with good, and spend of that wherewith We have provided them.
Translation: Marmaduke Pickthall
Meaning
They will be given their reward twice for their patience; they repel evil with good.
Insight
According to Elmalılı, one is for their earlier faith and one for their later Islam; repelling evil with good is removing sin through obedience.
Reflect
Meet one wrong with good today.
