Then of them are some who wrong themselves, and of them are some who follow a middle course, and of them are some who are, by Allāh's leave, foremost in good
deeds.[1] He said: "All of these people are of the same rank, and all of them are in Paradise." (Da'if)
[Abū 'Eisā said:] This Hadīth is Gharīb Hasan [we do not know of it except through this route].

Commentary
The people, who were given the Book as inheritance, are the people of Muhammad ﷺ. Being the member, of the nation of Muhammad, all are equal. Though they are of three kinds depending on the ranks and degrees; a) who wrong themselves, they abandon some obligations and commit some prohibitions; b) the second group is of the middle course people, those who fulfill the obligations and avoid the prohibitions but sometimes give up desirable deeds and do some disliked acts; c) the third type of people are those who perform the obligations and the desirable deeds, they avoid prohibitions and disliked deeds, and even some permissible things as well. These three groups will enter Paradise. The third group will enter Paradise without being held for reckoning; the reckoning of the second group will be easier, whereas the first type of people will enter Paradise as result of the Prophet's intercession.
