Context & meaning
Three statements in a row, and none of them is a request. The first two report physical facts about the body: the thirst has gone, the veins are moistened. The third moves to something that cannot be observed — the reward is confirmed — and qualifies it immediately with Insha Allah. That qualifier attaches only to the third clause, leaving the two bodily statements unconditioned.
When & how to recite
The chapter places these words at the breaking of the fast.
Reflection
Certainty drops as the sentence proceeds. What the body can verify is stated plainly, and what it cannot is stated with a condition attached to it.
