Ibn Abbas Commentary
(If ye lend unto Allah) by giving alms (a goodly loan) sincerely from your hearts and intending with it no one but Allah, (He will double it for you) He will accept it and multiply it from seven to 70 and up two millions folds, and up to whatever He wills (and will forgive you) through your alms, (for Allah is Responsive) in that He accepts your alms and multiplies it manifold; it is also said that this means: He is thankful: He accepts very little from His salves and rewards for it abundantly, (Clement) He does not hasten His punishment upon those who boast about their almsgiving and those who refuse to give alms,
