فَلَمَّا آتَاهُمْ مِنْ فَضْلِهِ بَخِلُوا بِهِ وَتَوَلَّوْا وَهُمْ مُعْرِضُونَ ﴿۷۶﴾ فَأَعْقَبَهُمْ نِفَاقًا فِي قُلُوبِهِمْ إِلَى يَوْمِ يَلْقَوْنَهُ بِمَا أَخْلَفُوا اللَّهَ مَا وَعَدُوهُ وَبِمَا كَانُوا يَكْذِبُونَ ﴿۷۷﴾ أَلَمْ يَعْلَمُوا أَنَّ اللَّهَ يَعْلَمُ سِرَّهُمْ وَنَجْوَاهُمْ وَأَنَّ اللَّهَ عَلَّامُ الْغُيُوبِ ﴿۷۸﴾ الَّذِينَ يَلْمِزُونَ الْمُطَّوِّعِينَ مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ فِي الصَّدَقَاتِ وَالَّذِينَ لَا يَجِدُونَ إِلَّا جُهْدَهُمْ فَيَسْخَرُونَ مِنْهُمْ سَخِرَ اللَّهُ مِنْهُمْ وَلَهُمْ عَذَابٌ أَلِيمٌ ﴿۷۹﴾

﴾76﴿ So when Allah gave them something of His bounty, they were stingy with it and turned away, and they were the ones who turned away
﴾77﴿ So Allah Almighty created hypocrisy in their hearts until the Day they meet Him, because they disobeyed Allah Almighty in what they had promised Him, and because they lied
﴾78﴿ Do they not know that indeed Allah knows their secret words and their consultations, and that Allah is All-Knowing of all faults
﴾79﴿ (These hypocrites) are those who criticize those who are eager to give alms among the believers, and those who find nothing but their earnings So they mock them, so Allah Almighty will punish them for their mockery, and for them is a painful punishment

[76] In this verse, two disgraceful traits of the hypocrites are mentioned.
This verse serves as evidence that whoever does not fully fulfill their vow (nadhir) is considered sinful.
[77] This verse is also connected to the previous verse and mentions one of the hypocrites’ disgraceful traits.
(يَوْمِ يَلْقَوْنَهُ) – refers to the Day they meet Him, meaning the Day of Death.
(فَأَعْقَبَهُمْ) – the subject pronoun refers either to Allah the Exalted (i.e., Allah caused the consequence), or to their stinginess (i.e., their own miserliness led to the consequence).
Similarly, the pronoun in (يَلْقَوْنَهُ) can also refer to Allah the Exalted (the day they meet Him), or to their stinginess, with the interpretation being: the day they face the result or punishment of their miserliness.
[78] This verse is also a warning to the hypocrites.
The message is that Allah the Exalted is fully aware of all the actions of these hypocrites, and therefore, He will punish them accordingly.
This verse is clear evidence for the statement that knowledge of the unseen (‘ilm al-ghayb) is a quality exclusive to Allah the Exalted.
(سِرَّهُمْ) – refers to what they keep hidden in their hearts.
(نَجْوَاهُمْ) – refers to their secret consultations and private discussions.
[79] This verse is also a warning to the hypocrites, and it mentions two of their disgraceful traits.
The meaning is: if someone spends a lot in the way of Allah due to wealth, the hypocrites criticize him and say he is showing off (riya).
And if someone spends a little due to poverty, they mock him for offering too little.
Benefit: This verse is clear evidence that those who criticize the noble Companions (Sahabah) are themselves hypocrites, just like the Shi‘a and Rawafid (extremist sects), who are known for insulting the Companions.
