تفسير : (but allah reprieveth no soul when its term comes, and allah is aware of what ye do) whether it is good or evil. from his saying (o ye who believe) up to here was revealed about the hypocrites; as for allah's saying (then i would give alms and be among the righteous) if it is taken to mean the hypocrites, then it would mean: i will do with my wealth as the believers do and be among those who are true in their faith'.
Jalāl al-Dīn al-Maḥallī
