The word used is with, not after
Ibn ʿAbbās said one hardship will never overcome two eases.
فَإِنَّ مَعَ ٱلْعُسْرِ يُسْرًا إِنَّ مَعَ ٱلْعُسْرِ يُسْرًا
Fa-inna maʿa-l-ʿusri yusrā, inna maʿa-l-ʿusri yusrā.
“For indeed, with hardship [will be] ease [i.e., relief]. Indeed, with hardship [will be] ease.”
The hardship is definite both times and the ease indefinite, which the commentators read as one difficulty and two reliefs.
