﴿ هُمُ ٱلَّذِينَ يَقُولُونَ لَا تُنفِقُوا۟ عَلَىٰ مَنْ عِندَ رَسُولِ ٱللَّهِ حَتَّىٰ يَنفَضُّوا۟ ۗ وَلِلَّهِ خَزَآئِنُ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ وَلَٰكِنَّ ٱلْمُنَٰفِقِينَ لَا يَفْقَهُونَ ﴾
“It is they who say [to their compatriots], "Do not spend anything on those who are with God's Apostle, so that they [may be forced to] leave." However, unto God belong the treasures of the heavens and the earth: but this truth the hypocrites cannot grasp.”
(They it is who say) the one who said this is 'Abdullah Ibn Ubayy, especially to his host at the Battle of Tabuk: (Spend not on behalf of those (who dwell) with Allah's messenger) who are poor and needy (that they may disperse (and go away from you)) to join their clans; (when Allah's are the treasures of the heavens and the earth) when Allah has the keys to the stores of the heavens through providing rain and vegetation; (but the hypocrites) 'Abdullah Ibn Ubayy and his host (comprehend not) that Allah provides for them.
