Transliteration:( Khuz min amwaalihim sadaqatan tutahhiruhum wa tuzakkeehim bihaa wa salli 'alaihim inna salaataka sakanul lahum; wallaahu Samee'un 'Aleem )
286. And distribute it among the poor with your blessed hands so that through the touch of your bounteous hands their charity could be accepted with greater favour. It was the practise of the Noble Companions to have their charities distributed by the Holy Prophet. Even today the practice of the Muslims is to first present the rewards of their good deeds as a gift to the Holy Prophet صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم and then it is conveyed to the souls of others which is proven from this verse.
 In Panjab some recite verses and address a certain saint saying the reward of this recitation is yours, but would it be possible to convey it to so and so. The permissibility of it too is proven from this verse. In short, every believer is totally dependent on the holy prophetÂ
287. From this it is understood that purity is obtained from the bounteous attention of the Acts of Holy Prophet صلى الله عليه وآله وسلمworship are a means of obtaining this favourable attention, because what is said here is purify them Oh my Beloved Prophet صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم through this charity of theirs. We further learn that Allah Almighty bestows bounties upon His servant through the صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم prayer of the Holy Prophet Therefore it was said: 'pray for them',
288. Some commentators of the Holy QUR'AAN have deduced proof of Salatul Janazah form this verse. (Roohul Bayaan)Â

103. Take Sadaqah from their wealth in order to purify them and sanctify them with it, and Salli for them. Verily, your Salat are a Sakan for them; and Allah is All-Hearer, All-Knower. 104. Know they not that Allah accepts repentance from His servants and accepts the Sadaqat, and that Allah alone is the One Who forgives and accepts repentance, Most Merciful
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,
(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,
(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,
(O Allah! I invoke You for the family of Abu Awfa.)†Allah’s statement,
(Verily, your Salat are a Sakan for them), means, a mercy for them, according to Ibn `Abbas. Allah said next,
(and Allah is All-Hearer,) of your invocation (O Muhammad),
(All-Knower.) in those who deserve your invocation on their behalf, who are worthy of it. Allah said,
(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,
(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 ï´¿of foodï´¾ becomes as large as Uhud.) wThe Book of Allah, the Exalted and Most Honored, testifies to this Hadith,
(Know they not that Allah accepts repentance from His servants and accepts the Sadaqat), and,
(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,
(Know they not that Allah accepts repentance from His servants and accepts the Sadaqat).
