Translation
Speak to my servants who have believed, that they may establish regular prayers, and spend (in charity) out of the sustenance we have given them, secretly and openly, before the coming of a Day in which there will be neither mutual bargaining nor befriending.
Tafsir
Tell My servants who believe that they establish prayers and expend of that which We have provided them, secretly and openly, before a day comes wherein there will be neither bargaining, ransoming, nor befriending, that is, [when there will not be] any friendship of any benefit: this is the Day of Resurrection.
"The Command for Prayer and Charity
Allah commands:
قُل لِّعِبَادِيَ الَّذِينَ امَنُواۡ يُقِيمُواۡ الصَّلَةَ وَيُنفِقُواۡ مِمَّا رَزَقۡنَاهُمۡ سِرًّا وَعَلنِيَةً
Say to My servants who have believed, that they should perform the Salah, and spend (in charity) out of the sustenance We have given them, secretly and openly,
Allah orders His servants to obey Him, fulfill His rights and be kind to His creatures. He ordained the prayer, which affirms the worship of Allah alone, without partners, and to spend from the provisions that He has granted them, by paying the due Zakah, spending on relatives and being kind to all others.
Establishing the prayer requires performing it on time, perfectly, preserving its act of bowing having humility during it, and preserving its prostrations.
Allah has ordained spending from what He granted, in secret and public, so that the people save themselves,
مِّن قَبۡلِ أَن يَأۡتِيَ يَوۡمٌ
before the coming of a Day,
the Day of Resurrection,
لااَّ بَيۡعٌ فِيهِ وَلَا خِلَالٌ
on which there will be neither mutual bargaining nor befriending.
on which no ransom will be accepted from anyone, if he seeks to buy himself.
Allah said in another Ayah,
فَالۡيَوۡمَ لَا يُوۡخَذُ مِنكُمۡ فِدۡيَةٌ وَلَا مِنَ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُواۡ
So this Day no ransom shall be taken from you, nor of those who disbelieved. (57:15)
Allah said here,
وَلَا خِلَلٌ
(nor befriending),
Ibn Jarir commented,
""Allah says that on that Day, there will be no friendship between friends that might save those deserving punishment from it. Rather, on that Day, there will be fairness and justice.""
Qatadah said,
""Allah knows that in this life, there is mutual bargaining and there are friendships which people benefit from. A man chooses his friends and the reasons behind befriending them; if it was for Allah's sake, their friendship should be maintained, but if it was for other than Allah, their friendship is bound to be cutoff.""
I say that the meaning of this, is that;
Allah the Exalted is declaring that on that Day, no mutual bargaining or ransom will avail anyone, even if he ransoms himself with the earth's fill of gold if he could find that amount! No friendship or intercession shall avail one if he meets Allah while a disbeliever.
Allah the Exalted said,
وَاتَّقُواۡ يَوۡمًا لاَّ تَجۡزِى نَفۡسٌ عَن نَّفۡسٍ شَيۡيًا وَلَا يُقۡبَلُ مِنۡهَا عَدۡلٌ وَلَا تَنفَعُهَا شَفَـعَةٌ وَلَا هُمۡ يُنصَرُونَ
And fear the Day when no person shall avail another, nor shall compensation be accepted from him, nor shall intercession be of use to him, nor shall they be helped. (2:123)
and,
يأَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواۡ أَنفِقُواۡ مِمَّا رَزَقۡنَـكُم مِّن قَبۡلِ أَن يَأۡتِىَ يَوۡمٌ لاأَّ بَيۡعٌ فِيهِ وَلاأَ خُلَّةٌ وَلاأَ شَفَـعَةٌ وَالۡكَـفِرُونَ هُمُ الظَّـلِمُونَ
O you believe! Spend of that with which We have provided for you, before a Day comes when there will be no bargaining, nor friendship, nor intercession. And it is the disbelievers who are the wrongdoers. (2:254)"
