And when the hardship of spending returns harm to wealth, and the act of stepping on the land which may not necessarily lead to what annoys the enemy without the hardship that occurs in the soul due to thirst and what accompanies it from actions that annoy the enemy and diminish him, he preferred that over his saying: ﴿And they do not spend﴾. And when the little may be despised, he began with it to encourage by his saying: ﴿A small expenditure﴾. And when it may be that a stubborn person may make it a condition, he said: ﴿And not a large one﴾, informing that it is considered significant so that it is not neglected. And in it is a reference to the verse that reproaches those who volunteer in charity ﴿And they do not cut off a valley﴾, meaning from the valleys by walking in jihad. And a valley is every opening between mountains and hills through which the flood flows, and it is originally derived from wadi - if it flows. ﴿Except that it is written for them﴾, meaning: that spending and cutting, he built it for the passive voice because the intention is to preserve by writing in general. ﴿So that Allah may reward them﴾, meaning the Possessor of Glory and Honor, meaning by that from His bounty ﴿The best of what they used to do﴾, meaning: by nature and disposition ﴿They do﴾ multiplied according to the degree of steadfastness. And the first pause was emphasized without this one for the increase of that in hardship and benefit. And for this reason, he explicitly mentioned the reward and the righteous deed - the Imam Abu Hayyan pointed out that. And from here, rather from the verse ﴿Indeed, Allah has purchased﴾ [At-Tawbah: 111], he began to relate the latter to the first, which contains the declaration of innocence from the polytheists and the striving in fighting them after their term has expired where they are found - until he said: ﴿Fight those who do not believe in Allah or in the Last Day and who do not prohibit what Allah and His Messenger have prohibited﴾ [At-Tawbah: 29] - until he said: ﴿What is the matter with you that when you are told, 'March forth in the cause of Allah,' you cling heavily to the earth?﴾ [At-Tawbah: 38]. Then he said ﴿March forth, light and heavy﴾ [At-Tawbah: 41]. Then he followed that with the stories of the hypocrites just as he did here, concluding with his saying: ﴿Fight those who are near to you of the disbelievers﴾ [At-Tawbah: 123]. Then he followed it with the mention of the hypocrites.
