O you who have believed, when you [wish to] privately consult the Messenger, present before your consultation a charity. That is better for you and purer. But if you find not [the means] - then indeed, Allah is Forgiving and Merciful.
Word-by-word meaning
Commentary (Tafsir Ibn Kathir)
The Order to give Charity before One speaks to the Prophet in privateAllah commanded His believing servants, when any of them wanted to speak with Allah's Messenger ﷺ in secret, to give away charity beforehand so that his charity cleanses and purifies him and makes him worthy of having a private counsel with the Prophet . This is why Allah the Exalted said,ذَلِكَ خَيْرٌ لَّكُمْ وَأَطْهَرُ(That will be better and purer for you.) then He said,فَإِن لَّمْ تَجِدُواْ(But if you find not.
