"The likeness of what they spend in this worldly life is as the likeness of a wind containing sir" meaning: intense cold, "that struck the harvest of a people who wronged themselves." Mujahid said: This refers to [the expenditures of the disbelievers]; they shall have no reward for them in the Hereafter, and they shall vanish [just as] this crop vanishes, which was struck by the wind [and destroyed].
﴿مَثَلُ مَا يُنْفِقُونَ فِي هَذِهِ الْحَيَاةِ الدُّنْيَا كَمَثَلِ رِيحٍ فِيهَا صر﴾ يَعْنِي: الْبرد الشَّديد ﴿أَصَابَتْ حَرْثَ قوم ظلمُوا أنفسهم﴾ قَالَ مُجَاهِد: يَعْنِي [نفقات الْكفَّار] لَا يكون لَهُم فِي الْآخِرَة مِنْهَا ثَوَاب، وَتذهب [كَمَا يذهب] هَذَا الزَّرْع الَّذِي أَصَابَته الرّيح [فأهلكته]
