Among the qualities of those promised the Garden
Three things listed in order, each harder than the last.
ٱلَّذِينَ يُنفِقُونَ فِى ٱلسَّرَّآءِ وَٱلضَّرَّآءِ وَٱلْكَـٰظِمِينَ ٱلْغَيْظَ وَٱلْعَافِينَ عَنِ ٱلنَّاسِ ۗ وَٱللَّهُ يُحِبُّ ٱلْمُحْسِنِينَ
…wa-l-kāẓimīna-l-ghayẓa wa-l-ʿāfīna ʿani-n-nās, wa-llāhu yuḥibbu-l-muḥsinīn.
“Who spend [in the cause of Allāh] during ease and hardship and who restrain anger and who pardon the people - and Allāh loves the doers of good;”
Restraining it, then pardoning, then doing good to them. The verse walks up the difficulty.
