[The first interpretation]
4575 - Muhammad ibn Sa‘d al-‘Awfi informed us in what he wrote to me, my uncle al-Husayn narrated to me, from his father, from his grandfather, from Ibn ‘Abbas regarding His saying: "And let not those who withhold what Allah has given them of His bounty think it is better for them; rather, it is worse for them," he means by that the People of the Scripture, that they withheld the Scripture and did not clarify it to the people.
The second interpretation:
4576 - Al-Hasan ibn Ahmad narrated to us, Musa ibn Muhkam narrated to us, Abu Bakr al-Hanafi narrated to us, ‘Abbad ibn Mansur narrated to us, he said: I asked al-Hasan regarding His saying: "And let not those who withhold what Allah has given them of His bounty think it is better for them; rather, it is worse for them," he said: They will be punished on the Day of Resurrection for what they withheld. He said: They are a disbeliever and a hypocrite who withholds from spending in the cause of Allah.
4577 - Ahmad ibn ‘Uthman narrated to us, Ahmad ibn Mufaddal narrated to us, Asbat narrated to us, from al-Suddi: "As for those who withhold what Allah has given them of His bounty," they withhold from spending it in the cause [of Allah] and did not pay its Zakah.
