Ibn Abbas Commentary

(And of them) of the hypocrites: Abu'l-Ahwas and his host (is he who defameth thee in the matter of the alms) he defames you regarding the division of alms. They claimed that he did not divide them fairly. (If they are given thereof) of the alms a good share (they are content) with the division, (and if they are not given thereof) of the alms a good share, (behold! they are enraged) in relation to the division of the same.
