Sura 90
Aya 6
6
يَقولُ أَهلَكتُ مالًا لُبَدًا

Mir Ahmed Ali

Saith1 heI: “I have wasted, wealth enormous!”II
  • See 8:36. This is what the disbelievers said when they saw Islam progressing inspite of all their wealth which they exhausted to obstruct its march. They at last felt their spending away the wealth to stop the Holy Prophet from preaching the Truth, (i.e., Islam from spreading) was all a waste, being of no avail at all. And what some hypocrites felt and said that at their embracing Islam they had been made to spend in dispensing the prescribed poor-rate and the other charities which they deemed as a waste of their wealth.
    It is clearly indicated here that wealth is given to man as a trial to test his disposition with it.
