And when it is said to them, "Spend from that which Allah has provided for you," those who disbelieve say to those who believe, "Should we feed one whom, if Allah had willed, He would have fed? You are not but in clear error."

Al-Jalalayn Commentary

And when it is said that is when the poor ones from among the Companions of the Prophet say to them ‘Expend on us of what God has provided you’ of wealth those who disbelieve say to those who believe in mockery of them ‘Are we to feed those whom if God willed He would feed? as you are wont to believe? You in saying this to us together with this believe of yours are only in manifest error!’ — as an explicit declaration of their disbelief this statement is very effective in the way that it has been expressed.
