Transliteration:( Man zal lazee yuqridul laaha qardan hasanan fa yudaa'ifahoo lahoo wa lahooo ajrun kareem )
32. This means they should spend cheerfully in the path of Allah Almighty because the promise of Paradise is linked with this charity. For this reason it has been called a debt. The debt without interest should be given with joy. The person should not demand it's payment from the debtor nor make any profit out of it.
33. In it there is a hint that the profit between the servant and the master is not an interest. Allah Almighty had promised to give in abundance on this loan. It should be remembered that here, double does not denote an act of sin, but rather, in great abundance whose true amount only Allah Almighty knows. Thus, what it means is that due to the blessing of charity there is increase in worldly things and reward and honour in the Hereafter.
The tafsir of Surah Hadid verse 11 by Ibn Kathir is unavailable here.
Please refer to Surah Hadid ayat 7 which provides the complete commentary from verse 7 through 11.
16. How Generous and Beneficent is Allah that if a man spends the wealth granted by Himself in His way, He calls it a loan Himself, provided that it is a good loan, that is, a loan which in given with a pure intention, without any selfish motive of winning reputation and renown, or of doing favor to somebody, but only for the sake of Allah’s approval and to win His good-will and rewards. Allah makes two promises in this regard:
(1) That He will repay it increasing it manifold.
(2) That He will also give from Himself the best reward for it.
According to a Hadith reported by Abdullah bin Masud, when this verse was revealed and the people heard it from the Prophet (peace be upon him), Abud Dahdah Ansari asked: O Messenger (peace be upon him) of Allah, does Allah want a loan from us?” The Prophet (peace be upon him) replied: Yes, O Abud-Dahdah. He said: Kindly show me your hand. The Prophet (peace be upon him) extended his hand towards him. He took his hand in his own hand and said: I give away my garden in loan to my Lord. Abdullah bin Masud says that the garden had 600 datepalms and also his own house in which his family lived. Saying this to the Prophet (peace be upon him) he went straight back home, and calling out to his wife said: Come out, O mother of Dahdah, I have loaned this garden to my Lord. She replied: Dahdah’s father, you have made a good bargain, and she immediately vacated and left the garden with her children. (Ibn Abi Hatim). This incident throws light on the conduct of the sincere believers of that time, and from this one can also understand the kind of the good loan that Allah has promised to return increasing it manifold with a rich reward in addition.
