Ibn Abbas Commentary
(Ye should believe in Allah and His messenger) you should be true in your faith in Allah and His Messenger, if this is understood to be a call to be the opposite of the hypocrites, (and should strive for the cause of Allah) in obedience of Allah (with your wealth and your lives) by spending your wealth and sacrificing your own persons. (That) striving (is better for you) wealth, (if ye did but know) if you believe in the reward of Allah.
