Transliteration:( Fa wailul-lil musalleen )
4. It means neither does he give charity nor allows the people to do so. In fact, he stops them from giving. From this we understand that stopping people from giving charity through pretentious means is the practice of Abu Jahl and the likes of him.
The tafsir of Surah Maun verse 4 by Ibn Kathir is unavailable here.
Please refer to Surah Maun ayat 1 which provides the complete commentary from verse 1 through 7.
(107:4) Woe, then, to those who pray,[8]
8. The fa in fa-wail-ul -lil-musallin signifies that such was the condition of the open deniers of the Hereafter. One may then consider the condition of the hypocrites who are included among the praying ones (i.e. Muslims). Since, despite being Muslims they regard the Hereafter as a falsehood, one may note what path of ruin they are following.
Though musallin means the praying ones, in view of the context in which this word has been used and the characteristics of these people that follow, this word, in fact, does not have the meaning of the praying ones but of the people of salat, i.e. of those included among Muslims.
