Tafsir
And expend in alms of that with which We have provided you before death comes to any of you whereat he will say ‘My Lord if only law-lā means hal-lā ‘why do You not’; or the lā is extra and the law is optative You would reprieve me for a short time so that I might give charity assaddaq the original tā’ of atasaddaqa has been assimilated with the sād that I might offer alms and become one of the righteous!’ by making the Pilgrimage. Ibn ‘Abbās may God be pleased with both him and his father said ‘Every person who has fallen short of his duty regarding alms and the Pilgrimage will ask to be returned to this world at the moment of death’.

Ibn Abbas Commentary
(And spend) give alms for the sake of Allah (of that wherewith We have provided you) of wealth; and it is also said this means: pay the poor-due from your wealth (before death) the seizure of death (cometh unto one of you and he saith: My Lord! If only thou wouldst reprieve me for a little while) as long as I lived in the life of the world, (then I would give alms) from my wealth and also give the poor-due (and be among the righteous) and use that wealth to go to pilgrimage.
