Translation
Of their goods, take alms, that so thou mightest purify and sanctify them; and pray on their behalf. Verily thy prayers are a source of security for them: And Allah is One Who heareth and knoweth.
Tafsir
Take of their wealth some alms, to purify them and to cleanse them thereby, of their sins; he thus took a third of their wealth and gave it away as charity; and pray for them, that is, supplicate for them; truly your prayers are a comfort, a mercy, for them: it is also said [to mean] reassurance [for them], that their repentance has been accepted. And God is Hearer, Knower.
"The Command to collect the Zakah and Its Benefits
Allah says;
خُذۡ مِنۡ أَمۡوَالِهِمۡ صَدَقَةً تُطَهِّرُهُمۡ وَتُزَكِّيهِم بِهَا
Take Sadaqah from their wealth in order to purify them and sanctify them with it,
Allah commanded His Messenger to take Sadaqah from the Muslims' money to purify and sanctify them with it.
This Ayah is general, even though some said that it refers specifically to those who mixed good and evil deeds, who admitted to their errors.
Some Bedouin later thought that paying Zakah to the Leader was not legislated except to the Messenger himself, using this Ayah as evidence,
خُذۡ مِنۡ أَمۡوَالِهِمۡ صَدَقَةً
(Take Sadaqah from their wealth). Abu Bakr As-Siddiq and other Companions refuted this ill comprehension and fought against them until they paid the Zakah to the Khalifah, just as they used to pay it to the Messenger of Allah.
As-Siddiq said, ""By Allah! If they abstain from paying a bridle that they used to pay to the Messenger of Allah, I will fight them for refraining from paying it.""
Allah's statement,
وَصَلِّ عَلَيۡهِمۡ
and Salli for them,
means, supplicate for them, and ask Allah to forgive them.
In the Sahih, Muslim recorded that Abdullah bin Abi Awfa said,
""Whenever the Prophet was brought charity, he used to invoke Allah for those who brought it. My father also brought his charity and the Prophet said,
اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى الِ أَبِي أَوۡفَى
O Allah! I invoke You for the family of Abu Awfa.""
Allah's statement,
إِنَّ صَلَتَكَ سَكَنٌ لَّهُمۡ
Verily, your Salat are a Sakan for them,
means, a mercy for them, according to Ibn Abbas.
Allah said next,
وَاللّهُ سَمِيعٌ
and Allah is All-Hearer,
of your invocation (O Muhammad),
عَلِيمٌ
All-Knower.
in those who deserve your invocation on their behalf, who are worthy of it.
Allah said
أَلَمۡ يَعۡلَمُواۡ أَنَّ اللّهَ هُوَ يَقۡبَلُ التَّوۡبَةَ عَنۡ عِبَادِهِ وَيَأۡخُذُ الصَّدَقَاتِ
Know they not that Allah accepts repentance from His servants and accepts the Sadaqat,
This Ayah encourages reverting to repentance and giving charity, for each of these actions erases, deletes and eradicate sins.
Allah states that He accepts the repentance of those who repent to Him, as well as charity from pure resources, for Allah accepts it with His Right Hand and raises it for its giver until even a date becomes as large as Mount Uhud.
Abu Hurayrah narrated that the Messenger of Allah said,
إِنَّ اللهَ يَقۡبَلُ الصَّدَقَةَ وَيَأۡخُذُهَا بِيَمِينِهِ فَيُرَبِّيهَا لاَِحَدِكُمۡ كَمَا يُرَبِّي أَحَدُكُمۡ مُهۡرَهُ حَتَّى إِنَّ اللُّقۡمَةَ لَتَكُونُ مِثۡلَ أُحُد
Verily, Allah accepts charity, receives it in His Right Hand and develops it for its giver, just as one of you raises his pony, until the bite (of food) becomes as large as Uhud.
The Book of Allah, the Exalted and Most Honored, testifies to this Hadith,
أَلَمۡ يَعۡلَمُواۡ أَنَّ اللّهَ هُوَ يَقۡبَلُ التَّوۡبَةَ عَنۡ عِبَادِهِ وَيَأۡخُذُ الصَّدَقَاتِ
Know they not that Allah accepts repentance from His servants and accepts the Sadaqat.
and,
يَمۡحَقُ اللَّهُ الۡرِّبَواۡ وَيُرۡبِى الصَّدَقَـتِ
Allah will destroy Riba and will give increase for Sadaqat. (2:276)
Abdullah bin Mas`ud said,
""Charity falls in Allah's Hand before it falls in the needy's hand,""
he then recited this Ayah,
أَلَمۡ يَعۡلَمُواۡ أَنَّ اللَّهَ هُوَ يَقۡبَلُ التَّوۡبَةَ عَنۡ عِبَادِهِ وَيَأۡخُذُ الصَّدَقَـتِ
(Know they not that Allah accepts repentance from His servants and accepts the Sadaqat).
وَأَنَّ اللّهَ هُوَ التَّوَّابُ الرَّحِيمُ
and that Allah alone is the One Who forgives and accepts repentance, Most Merciful!"
