9:54
وَمَا مَنَعَهُمْ أَن تُقْبَلَ مِنْهُمْ نَفَقَٰتُهُمْ إِلَّآ أَنَّهُمْ كَفَرُوا۟ بِٱللَّهِ وَبِرَسُولِهِۦ وَلَا يَأْتُونَ ٱلصَّلَوٰةَ إِلَّا وَهُمْ كُسَالَىٰ وَلَا يُنفِقُونَ إِلَّا وَهُمْ كَٰرِهُونَ
English - Hazrat Molavi Sher Ali ra
And nothing has deprived them of the acceptance of their contributions save that they disbelieve in Allah and His Messenger. And they come not to Prayer except lazily and they make no contribution save reluctantly.
English - Five Volume Translation
And nothing has deprived them of the acceptance of their contributions save that they disbelieve in Allah and His Messenger. And [a]they come not to Prayer except lazily and they make no contribution save reluctantly.[1210]
4:143.
Commentary:
Good works are of two kinds: (1) those done for the purification of one’s own soul, of which Prayer is the most important, and (2) those done for the uplift of one’s community, of which Zakah or other similar subscriptions form an important part. Hypocrites, the verse points out, are lazy and reluctant in both these fields.
English - Short Commentary Translation
And nothing prevents that their contributions should be accepted from them save that they disbelieve in Allah and His Messenger. And [a]they come not to Prayer except lazily and they spend not in the way of Allah but reluctantly.
