( ولو أنهم رضوا ما آتاهم الله ورسوله ) أي : قنعوا بما قسم لهم الله ورسوله ( وقالوا حسبنا الله ) كافينا الله ، ( سيؤتينا الله من فضله ورسوله ) ما نحتاج إليه ( إنا إلى الله راغبون ) في أن يوسع علينا من فضله ، فيغنينا عن الصدقة وغيرها من أموال الناس . وجواب " لو " محذوف أي : لكان خيرا لهم وأعود عليهم .
If only these hypocrites who criticize you in the distribution of charity had been pleased with their portion that Allah had assigned for them and with what the Messenger gave them, saying: 'Allah is sufficient for us and He will grant us more from His Grace, and the Messenger will also give us from what Allah has given him, and we ask Allah alone to enrich us!'-had they said this it would have been better for them then criticising the Messenger.
