وَمَا مَنَعَهُمۡ أَن تُقۡبَلَ مِنۡهُمۡ نَفَقَٰتُهُمۡ إِلَّآ أَنَّهُمۡ كَفَرُواْ بِٱللَّهِ وَبِرَسُولِهِۦ وَلَا يَأۡتُونَ ٱلصَّلَوٰةَ إِلَّا وَهُمۡ كُسَالَىٰ وَلَا يُنفِقُونَ إِلَّا وَهُمۡ كَٰرِهُونَ,

  • Ibn Kathir
  • Ala-Madudi
  • Shaheen International

149. This tells us that the worship of an infidel is unacceptable. Only that branch will bear fruit which is connected with the root. The pre-conditions for acceptance of one's good deeds is servitude of the Holy Prophet

150. From this we learn that to perform Salaah negligently is the way of the hypocrites. From this many juristic issues can be deduced: to perform Salaah on the eleventh hour, to become accustomed to perform it without congregation, to perform it bare-headed, to perform it with opened shirt buttons and folded sleeves all these are undesirable factors of Salaah as they reflect signs of negligence. 

151. Because the hypocrites do not believe in the reward of such a charity. They merely spend to conceal their hypocrisy. From this we learn that any donation which is given to seek favours, or to conceal any ones taunting or for the sake of pride shall not be rewardable.
