قُلْ هَلْ تَرَبَّصُونَ
بِنَآ إِلَّآ إِحْدَى
ٱلْحُسْنَيَيْنِ ۖ وَنَحْنُ
نَتَرَبَّصُ بِكُمْ أَن
يُصِيبَكُمُ ٱللَّهُ بِعَذَابٍ
مِّنْ عِندِهِۦٓ أَوْ
بِأَيْدِينَا ۖ فَتَرَبَّصُوٓا۟
إِنَّا مَعَكُم مُّتَرَبِّصُونَ
قُلْ أَنفِقُوا۟ طَوْعًا
أَوْ كَرْهًا لَّن يُتَقَبَّلَ
مِنكُمْ ۖ إِنَّكُمْ كُنتُمْ
قَوْمًا فَـٰسِقِينَ
وَمَا مَنَعَهُمْ أَن تُقْبَلَ
مِنْهُمْ نَفَقَـٰتُهُمْ إِلَّآ
أَنَّهُمْ كَفَرُوا۟ بِٱللَّهِ
وَبِرَسُولِهِۦ وَلَا يَأْتُونَ
ٱلصَّلَوٰةَ إِلَّا وَهُمْ
كُسَالَىٰ وَلَا يُنفِقُونَ
إِلَّا وَهُمْ كَـٰرِهُونَ
Say: “Do you wait
for us (anything)
except one of the
two best things
while we await
for you either that
Allah will afflict you
with a punishment
from Himself or at
our hands. So wait,
we too are waiting
with you.” Say:
“Spend willingly or
unwillingly, it will
not be accepted
from you. Verily,
you are ever
a people who are
rebellious.” And
nothing prevents
their contributions
from being accepted
from them except
that they disbelieved
in Allah and in His
Messenger, and that
they came not to
the Salah except
in a lazy state, and
that they offer not
contributions but
unwillingly.
Allah said,
قُلْ
Say
O Muhammad to them,
هَلْ تَرَبَّصُونَ بِنَآ
Do you wait for us
anything,
إِلاَ إِحْدَى الْحُسْنَيَيْنِ
except one of the two best things
martyrdom or victory over you, according to the meaning given by Ibn `Abbas, Mujahid, Qatadah, and others.
وَنَحْنُ نَتَرَبَّصُ بِكُمْ
while we await for you
that this will touch you,
أَن يُصِيبَكُمُ اللَّهُ
بِعَذَابٍ مِّنْ عِندِهِ
أَوْ بِأَيْدِينَا
either that Allah will afflict you with a punishment from Himself or at our hands
either capture or killing,
فَتَرَبَّصُواْ إِنَّا
مَعَكُمْ مُّتَرَبِّصُونَ
So wait, we too are waiting with you
Allah said next,
قُلْ أَنفِقُواْ طَوْعاً أَوْ كَرْهاً
Say: Spend willingly or unwillingly
for whatever you spend either way,
لَّن يُتَقَبَّلَ مِنكُمْ إِنَّكُمْ
كُنتُمْ قَوْماً فَـسِقِينَ
it will not be accepted from you. Verily, you are ever a people who are rebellious
Allah mentions the reason behind not accepting their charity from them,
إِلاَ أَنَّهُمْ كَفَرُواْ
بِاللَّهِ وَبِرَسُولِهِ
except that they disbelieved in Allah and in His Messenger.
and the deeds are accepted if they are preceded with faith,
وَلاَ يَأْتُونَ الصَّلَوةَ
إِلاَّ وَهُمْ كُسَالَى
and that they came not to the Salah except in a lazy state
Therefore, they neither have good intention nor eagerness to perform the acts (of faith)
وَمَا مَنَعَهُمْ أَن
تُقْبَلَ مِنْهُمْ نَفَقَـتُهُمْ
إِلاَ أَنَّهُمْ كَفَرُواْ
بِاللَّهِ وَبِرَسُولِهِ
وَلاَ يَأْتُونَ الصَّلَوةَ
إِلاَّ وَهُمْ كُسَالَى
وَلاَ يُنفِقُونَ إِلاَّ
وَهُمْ كَـرِهُونَ
And nothing prevents their contributions from being accepted from them except that they disbelieved in Allah and in His Messenger, and that they came not to the Salah (the prayer) except in a lazy state, and that they offer not contributions but unwillingly
The Truthful, to whom the Truth was revealed, Muhammad, peace be upon him, said that Allah does not stop giving rewards until you (believers) stop performing good deeds, and that Allah is Tayyib (Good and Pure) and only accepts what is Tayyib. This is why Allah does not accept charity or good deeds from the people described in these Ayat, because He only accepts it from those who have Taqwa.
