English - Sahih International
Who are stingy and enjoin upon [other] people stinginess and conceal what Allah has given them of His bounty - and We have prepared for the disbelievers a humiliating punishment -
Tafheem-ul-Quran by Syed Abu-al-A'la Maududi
(4:37) who are niggardly and bid others to be niggardly and conceal the bounty which Allah has bestowed upon them. *63 We have kept in readiness a humiliating chastisement for such deniers (of Allah's bounty).
Tafheem-ul-Quran by Syed Abu-al-A'la Maududi
*63). Concealing God's bounty is to live, as if God had not bestowed that bounty. If anyone has considerable wealth and yet lives at a standard strikingly lower than that warranted by his income, if he shuns spending on himself and his family, and also on helping other creatures of God, and avoids providing financial support to any philanthropic cause, then he creates the false impression of being in a state of financial stringency. This is sheer ingratitude to God. The Prophet (peace be on him) is reported, according to a tradition, as saying: 'If God confers a bounty on somebody, He would like to see that benefaction displayed.' (Ibn Kathir, vol. 4, p. 486 - Ed.) This means that a person's day-to-day life, his eating and drinking, his dress and his abode and his spending on others, all these should reflect God's bounty.
