Vers: 54

وَمَا مَنَعَهُمۡ أَن تُقۡبَلَ مِنۡهُمۡ نَفَقَٰتُهُمۡ إِلَّآ أَنَّهُمۡ كَفَرُواْ بِٱللَّهِ وَبِرَسُولِهِۦ وَلَا يَأۡتُونَ ٱلصَّلَوٰةَ إِلَّا وَهُمۡ كُسَالَىٰ وَلَا يُنفِقُونَ إِلَّا وَهُمۡ كَٰرِهُونَ

(54) ^[2129]What prevented their expending being accepted from them was nothing but their Denial in Allah and His Messenger; they only come to Prayers being sluggish^[2130] and only spend being grudging.

[2129] Further reasons for God not accepting their payment are provided, this being the result of their lack of Faith (cf. Ibn ʿĀshūr).
[2130] “Indeed the hypocrites seek to deceive Allah, ˹but in reality˺ He Deceives them; when they rise up for Prayer, they rise sluggishly ˹only˺ showing off to people and little do they ˹truly˺ mention Allah” (4: 142); “Seek help in patience and Prayer; indeed they are hard save for the dedicated. *Those who firmly Believe that they will be meeting their Lord and that they are returning to Him” (2: 45-46).
