Tafsir
The life of this world that is to say preoccupation solely with it is merely play and diversion; but if you believe and are wary of God both of which pertain to the goal of the Hereafter He will give you your rewards and will not ask you your wealth in return all of it rather only the alms that are required from it.

Ibn Abbas Commentary
(The life of the world) that which is in the life of the world (is but a sport) vain sport (and a pastime) and exultation which does not last. (And if ye believe) and if you are steadfast in your faith in Allah and His Messenger (and ward off (evil)) disbelief, idolatry and indecencies, (He will give you your wages) He will give you the reward of your works, (and will not ask of you your worldly wealth) all your worldly wealth to give to charity.
