قُلْ أَنفِقُوا طَوْعًا أَوْ كَرْهًا لَّن يُتَقَبَّلَ مِنكُمْ ۖ إِنَّكُمْ كُنتُمْ قَوْمًا فَاسِقِينَ (53)
(9:53) Say, "You may expend your possessions willingly or unwillingly: *53 they shall not be accepted in any case, because you are a wicked people."
*53) V. 53 is a sharp retort to those hypocrites who desired exemption froth Jihad but, at the same time, wanted to make some monetary contributions in order to avoid the exposure of their hypocrisy, They said, "Please grant us leave from military service because we are unable to do this, but we are ready to make monetary contributions towards it." To this AIlah retorted, saying, "Whatever you may contribute, it shall not be accepted" .
