    70. They give this reply to the believers in a mocking way.

     71. This tells us that rejecting the medium (Waseela) is an act of infidelity. Those infidels were saying the very thing that the poor do not require the medium of the the helpp of the wealthy. Allah Almighty Himself can give them sustenance without anyone's medium. 

    But, they fail to understand that Divine power and Divine laws are two different things. The demand of law is that grace and mercy should be sought through a medium.

    72. The believers were saying to the infidels of Makkah that the portion of their earnings. which you are taking out in the name of Allah Almighty as per your thinking, you should give theto  poor and destitute, as it is their share. 

    In response, they would reply as has been mentioned in the above blessed verse; that since giving wealth to the poor and destitute is against Divine will and intention, as the Almighty wants to keep them dependent, then why should we make them wealthy? This nonsensical talk of theirs was for the purpose of mocking and derision. due to their miserliness and greed. From this explanation we learn that by 'spending' here does not mean Zakaat or religious charity, because the order of Zakaat had not been revealed before Hijrah. Also, the infidel is not fit for Zakaat nor Sadaqah (charity). The believers had said this to prove the lies of the infidels, that you are cating that which you have taken out in the name of Allah Almighty.

     

    Ibn-Kathir

    The tafsir of Surah Yaseen verse 47 by Ibn Kathir is unavailable here.
    Please refer to Surah Yaseen ayat 45 which provides the complete commentary from verse 45 through 47.

    (36:47) And when it is said to them: “Spend (in the Way of Allah) out of the sustenance that Allah has provided you,” the unbelievers say to the believers: “Shall we feed him whom, Allah would have fed, had He so wished?” Say: “You are in evident error.”[43]

    Ala-Maududi

    (36:47) And when it is said to them: “Spend (in the Way of Allah) out of the sustenance that Allah has provided you,” the unbelievers say to the believers: “Shall we feed him whom, Allah would have fed, had He so wished?” Say: “You are in evident error.”[43]

    43. This means to show that disbelief has not only blinded their intellect but has destroyed their moral sense, too. They neither have the right thought about Allah nor do they adopt the right attitude towards the people. They react adversely to every admonition, follow a perverse philosophy in respite of every deviation and immorality and have a ready-made pretense for escape from every good.

    (47) And when it is said to them, "Spend from that which Allāh has provided for you," those who disbelieve say to those who believe, "Should we feed one whom, if Allāh had willed, He would have fed? You are not but in clear error."
