English - Sahih International
They arise from [their] beds; they supplicate their Lord in fear and aspiration, and from what We have provided them, they spend.
Tafheem-ul-Quran by Syed Abu-al-A'la Maududi
(32:16) Their sides forsake their beds, and they call upon their Lord in fear and hope, *27 and expend (in charity) out of the sustenance We have granted them. *28
Tafheem-ul-Quran by Syed Abu-al-A'la Maududi
*27) That is, "They worship their Lord instead of enjoying sensuous pleasures at night. They are not like the world-worshippers, who seek entertainments in music and dancing, drinking and merry-making, in the night in order to get relief from the day's fatigue and labour and toil. Instead, when they are free from their day's work and duties, they devote themselves to the adoration of their Lord, spend their nights in His remembrance, tremble out of fear of Him, and pin all their hopes on Him." "Who forsake their beds" dces not mean that they do not sleep at all at night, but that they spend a part of the night in Allah's worship.
*28) In the original, rizq: lawful provisions. Unlawful provisions have nowhere been called rizq by Allah. The verse therefore means: They spend from whatever little or much of pure provisions We have given them; they do not overspend and do not grab unlawful wealth in order to meet their expenses.
