وَإِذَا قِيلَ لَهُمْ أَنفِقُوا۟ مِمَّا رَزَقَكُمُ ٱللَّهُ قَالَ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ لِلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوٓا۟ أَنُطْعِمُ مَن لَّوْ يَشَآءُ ٱللَّهُ أَطْعَمَهُۥٓ إِنْ أَنتُمْ إِلَّا فِى ضَلَٰلٍ مُّبِينٍ

Commentary:
The verse seems to imply that the Divine punishment referred to in the preceding verses which will overtake the materialistic Christian nations, will take the form of a revolt on the part of the suppressed and starved nations of the east. The eastern nations will rebel and revolt because the western nations will have mercilessly exploited them and carried all their wealth to the west and denied them even bare subsistence. It is to this exploitation of the weak eastern nations by the strong western nations that the reference is made in the words "shall we feed him whom Allah would have fed, if He had so willed."
