Tafsir of verse 24

Al-Mukhtasar

Those who are miserly in spending whatever is obligatory on them to spend and instruct others to be miserly, are losers. Whoever turns away from the obedience of Allah will never harm Allah; he only harms himself. Indeed, Allah is the Self-sufficient; He is in no need of the obedience of His servants, and He is praiseworthy in every state.

Tafsir of the whole Surah Al-Hadid

Other translations of verse 24

those who are stingy and promote stinginess among people. And those who turn away17, then Allah is the Self-Sufficient, the Praiseworthy.

Notes

[17] Refuse to spend in the way of Allah or refuse obedience to Him.

Those who are misers and enjoin upon people miserliness - (Allâh is not in need of their charity). And whosoever turns away (from Faith - Allâh’s Monotheism), then Allâh is Rich (Free of all needs), Worthy of all praise.

Who hoard and who enjoin upon the people avarice. And whosoever turneth away, still Allah is the Absolute, the Owner of Praise.

Such persons as are covetous and commend covetousness to men. And if any turn back (from Allah's Way), verily Allah is Free of all Needs, Worthy of all Praise.

Those who are niggardly and enjoin niggardliness on men; and whoever turns back, then surely Allah is He Who is the Selfsufficient, the Praised.

(Those) who are miserly and command mankind to be miserly (Literally: bid mankind to miserliness). And whoever turns away, then surely Allah, Ever He, is The Ever-Affluent, (Literally: the Ever-Rich) The Ever-Praiseworthy.
