And when he urged spending, he elaborated and gave examples and spoke extensively about it. He did not specify a time for it, as if a questioner asked: At what time should it be done? He clarified in a comprehensive verse for the types of wealth, times, and conditions that it is good at all times and in all situations. He said: ﴿Those who spend their wealth﴾, meaning in the good causes that were previously pointed out. He emphasized from the opposites what was closer to sincerity, indicating its virtue. He said: ﴿By night﴾ if that situation requires it, ﴿and by day﴾ if the plan of guidance calls them to it, ﴿in secret and openly﴾ likewise.

And when the cessation from favor and harm in some situations is most difficult for the soul due to what it sees from the one being spent upon, such as anger and the like, hardly anyone escapes from it.

He began the reward in his verse without a connection with 'fa' (and), indicating forgiveness for what overwhelms the soul from it, placing it in the status of non-existence. This is a hint at its significance, being the beginning of a gift from the King, encouraging abstaining from it, as it is viewed in general. He connected the reward in this to inform that it is caused by these conditions, for actions are easier than abstentions, so its occurrence is contingent upon their occurrence, urging to perform all of them due to the ease in that. For whoever allows spending for Allah, glorified and exalted is He, all times are equal for him in it. He said: ﴿So for them is their reward﴾, and its causation is being a sign for the occurrence of the reward, not that it is a true cause. The true cause is the mercy of Allah by granting success for the action and relying upon it. He informed that it is preserved, multiplied, and nurtured, not lost at all by His saying: ﴿With their Lord﴾. [Meaning] He nurtures their expenditures and purifies them as He nurtured them. Then he concluded the verses on spending with what he began with, which is safety and joy, saying: ﴿And there is no fear upon them﴾ as they rejoiced in it over others, ﴿nor shall they grieve﴾ because there is no reward greater than that, as there is no life for a sad person or a fearful one. And due to the great hardships of spending upon the souls, especially in the early days of Islam due to the difficulties they faced, He emphasized this affirmation in its entirety and clarified it in this clear statement until no aspect remained hidden except that He revealed it and warned against it and established it. - The esteemed Abu al-Hasan al-Harali indicated this, saying: The best of them is the one who spends by night in secret. The least of them is the one who spends by day openly; thus, they are four types.
