Tafsir of 53:33

Chastising Those Who disobey Allah and stop giving Charity Allah the Exalted chastises those who turn away from His obedience, فَلاَ صَدَّقَ وَلاَ صَلَّى - وَلَكِن كَذَّبَ وَتَوَلَّى (So he (the disbeliever) neither believed nor prayed! But on the contrary, he belied and turned away!) (75:31-32), وَأَعْطَى قَلِيلاً وَأَكْدَى (And gave a little, then stopped) Ibn `Abbas said, "Gave a little, then stopped giving." Similar was said by Mujahid, Sa`id bin Jubayr, `Ikrimah, Qatadah and several others. `Ikrimah and Sa`id said: "Like the case of a people who dig a well, during the course of which they find a rock preventing them from completing their work. So they say, `We are finished' and they abandon the work." Allah's statement, أَعِنْدَهُ عِلْمُ الْغَيْبِ فَهُوَ يَرَىٰ (Is with him the knowledge of the Unseen so that he sees) means, 'Does this person, who stopped giving for fear of poverty and ended his acts of charity have knowledge of the Unseen and thus knows that if he does not stop giving, his wealth will go away?' No.…
