Al-Baqara • EN-TAFSIR-IBN-ABBAS
﴿ مَّن ذَا ٱلَّذِى يُقْرِضُ ٱللَّهَ قَرْضًا حَسَنًۭا فَيُضَٰعِفَهُۥ لَهُۥٓ أَضْعَافًۭا كَثِيرَةًۭ ۚ وَٱللَّهُ يَقْبِضُ وَيَبْصُۜطُ وَإِلَيْهِ تُرْجَعُونَ ﴾
“Who is it that will offer up unto God a goodly loan, which He will amply repay, with manifold increase? For, God takes away, and He gives abundantly; and it is unto Him that you shall be brought back.”
Allah then prompted the believer to give in charity, saying: (Who is it that will lend unto Allah a goodly loan) in charity sincerely wanting nothing but the sake of Allah, (so that He may give it increase manifold for him?) every act is rewarded a thousand times (Allah straiteneth) withholds wealth from people (and enlargeth) gives plenty to whomever He wills in this worldly life. (Unto Him ye will return) after you die and He will requite each according to his works. This verse was revealed about a man from the Helpers (al-Ansar) named Abu'l-Dahdah or Abu'l-Dahdahah.
