1. Full Dutch translation of Tabari's text

   And His saying: ( But as for him who is miserly and deems himself self-sufficient ) — the Exalted, whose remembrance is exalted, says: And as for him who is miserly in spending in the way of Allah, and refuses to spend that which Allah has bestowed upon him from His bounty in the directions which Allah has commanded it to be spent, and who deems himself self-sufficient, independent of his Lord, and does not yearn for Him by working for Him in obedience to Him, in order to obtain an increase of that with which He has endowed him.

   وقوله: ( وَأَمَّا مَنْ بَخِلَ وَاسْتَغْنَى ) يقول تعالى ذكره: وأما من بخل بالنفقة في سبيل الله، ومنع ما وهب الله له من فضله، من صرفه في الوجوه التي أمر الله بصرفه فيها، واستغنى عن ربه، فلم يرغب إليه بالعمل له بطاعته بالزيادة فيما خوّله من ذلك. وبنحو الذي قلنا في ذلك قال أهل التأويل. * ذكر من قال ذلك: حدثنا حميد بن مسعدة، قال: ثنا بشر بن المفضل، قال: ثنا داود، عن عكرِمة، عن ابن عباس، في قوله: ( وَأَمَّا مَنْ بَخِلَ وَاسْتَغْنَى ) قال: بخل بما عنده، واستغنى في نفسه. حدثنا ابن المثنى، قال: ثنا عبد الرحمن، قال: ثنا خالد بن عبد الله، عن داود بن أبي هند، عن عكرِمة عن ابن عباس ( وَأَمَّا مَنْ بَخِلَ وَاسْتَغْنَى ) وأما من بخل بالفضل، واستغنى عن ربه. حدثني محمد بن سعد، قال: ثني أبي، قال: ثني عمي، قال: ثني أبي، عن أبيه، عن ابن عباس ( وَأَمَّا مَنْ بَخِلَ وَاسْتَغْنَى ) يقول: من أغناه الله، فبخل بالزكاة. حدثنا بشر، قال: ثنا يزيد، قال: ثنا سعيد، عن قتادة، قوله ( وَأَمَّا مَنْ بَخِلَ وَاسْتَغْنَى ) : وأما من بخل بحقّ الله عليه، واستغنى في نفسه عن ربه.
