Maharsha (Chullin 44a, CA) brings an explanation of the Pasuk Ashrei Kol Yerei Hashem - Ashrei in OLAM HABA someone who has a Safeik in Hilchos Treifah but is a Yarei Hashem and is Machmir not to eat it, BECAUSE HE AVOIDS AN ISSUR TREIFOS. But Yegi'a Kapecha Ki Tochal - if you exert yourself to find a Heter for your Safeik until you are able to eat it, he's Ashrei in Olam Hazeh - that he was able to eat it - and Tov Lo in Olam Habah - that he exerted himself in Torah learning for it. Ayin Sham.
