"And among the bedouins are those who take what they spend" in Jihad "as a loss," meaning the hypocrites, because they have no intention.
Muhammad said: His saying "as a loss" means a fine and a forfeit.
"And await misfortunes for you," meaning that Muhammad and the believers might perish, so he would return to the religion of the polytheists of the Arabs.
"Upon them is a cycle of evil," meaning the consequence of evil.
﴿وَمِنَ الأَعْرَابِ مَنْ يَتَّخِذُ مَا ينْفق﴾ فِي الْجِهَاد ﴿مغرما﴾ يَعْنِي: الْمُنَافِقِينَ؛ لأَنَّهُمْ لَيْسَتْ لَهُمْ نيةٌ.
قَالَ محمدٌ: قَوْلُهُ ﴿مَغْرَمًا﴾ يَعْنِي: غُرْمًا وَخُسْرَانًا.
﴿وَيَتَرَبَّصُ بِكُمُ الدَّوَائِر﴾ يَعْنِي: أَنْ يَهْلِكَ محمدٌ وَالْمُؤْمِنُونَ، فَيَرْجِعَ إِلَى دِينِ مُشْرِكِي الْعَرَبِ.
﴿عَلَيْهِم دَائِرَة السوء﴾ يَعْنِي: عَاقِبَة السوء.
