﴿ وَيَمْنَعُونَ ٱلْمَاعُونَ ﴾

“and, withal, deny all assistance [to their fellow-men]!”

(Yet refuse small kindnesses!) i.e. they refuse acts of goodness; and it is also said this means: they refuse the poor-due; and it is also said: they refuse things that are lent and borrowed by people such as cooking pots and utensils, and similar things, which are of benefit to people'.
