Commentary (Tafsir Ibn Kathir)

The Importance of not being too concerned with the Matters of the Worldly Life, and being CharitableAllah the Exalted orders His faithful servants to remember Him frequently and to refrain from being distracted from His remembrance by indulging in their properties and children excessively. Allah informs them that those who engage in this life, its delights and attributes and were busied from the obedience and remembrance of Allah, for which they were created, will be among the losers.
