Commentary (Tafsir Ibn Kathir)

The Command to collect the Zakah and Its BenefitsAllah 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.
