Meaning of the aayah "The patient ones will be given reward without hisaab"

Q: There is a verse in the Quraan in which Allah (SubhaanaHu Wa Ta'alaa) says that the patient ones will be given reward without hisaab. Does this mean they will not be held accountable and given immediate entry into Jannah or does it mean that they will be given reward after accounting but a lot of reward?

A: Allah willing this could happen. All these kinds of virtues are subject to the grace of Allah. Man's duty is that in the event he commits a wrong he should beg for forgiveness. Thereafter it is the divine decision. We are required to do that which we have been ordered to do. We have been ordered to sincerely repent when we have wronged.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
