وَمِنۡہُمۡ مَّنۡ یَّلۡمِزُکَ فِی الصَّدَقٰتِ فَاِنۡ اُعۡطُوۡا مِنۡہَا رَضُوۡا وَاِنۡ لَّمۡ یُعۡطَوۡا مِنۡہَاۤ اِذَا ہُمۡ یَسۡخَطُوۡنَ

یلمزك (find fault with thee) is derived from لمز. They say لمزہ i.e. he made a sign to him with the eye or the head, etc.; he blamed or found fault with him; he spoke evil of him. It also means, he pushed or impelled or repelled him. لمزة occurring elsewhere in the Quran (104:2) means, one who blames or reproaches or finds fault with others much or habitually; one who speaks evil of others and defames them; a separator of companions and friends, who goes about with calumny (Lane).
Commentary:
As the hypocrites had joined Muslims to secure worldly advantages, therefore, if they were given something out of Zakah or legal alms, they were pleased; but if they failed to get anything, they grumbled and began to find fault with the Prophet. This is one of the unmistakable signs of a hypocrite.

اَلَّذِیۡنَ یَلۡمِزُوۡنَ الۡمُطَّوِّعِیۡنَ مِنَ الۡمُؤۡمِنِیۡنَ فِی الصَّدَقٰتِ وَالَّذِیۡنَ لَا یَجِدُوۡنَ اِلَّا جُہۡدَہُمۡ فَیَسۡخَرُوۡنَ مِنۡہُمۡ ۙ سَخِرَ اللّٰہُ مِنۡہُمۡ وَلَہُمۡ عَذَابٌ اَلِیۡمٌ

A poor Muslim, Abu ‘Aqil, who gave only a small quantity of dates, his whole day’s earnings as his contribution, was scoffed at by the Hypocrites for his scanty offering.
9:58.
Commentary:
The verse purports to say that the hypocrites sought excuses to find fault with all classes of believers—both those who spent freely and those who could not do so. Particular reference is to the expedition to Tabuk. Before he started for Tabuk, the Holy Prophet invited the believers to make voluntary contribution to meet the expenses of this great expedition. ‘Uthman gave 300 camels and 10,000 dinars; AbuBakr parted with all that he possessed; while ‘Umar gave as much as half of his entire property. The hypocrites attributed these and other similar liberal donations to a desire for show and display on the part of the donors. On the other hand, poor believers, who could make only small contributions, were also not spared. For instance, a poor Muslim, Abu ‘Aqil, who gave only a small quantity of dates, his whole day’s earnings, as his contribution, was scoffed at by the hypocrites for his scanty offering. It is to the taunting and scoffing of the hypocrites on this occasion that this verse particularly refers.

وَیۡلٌ لِّکُلِّ ہُمَزَۃٍ لُّمَزَۃٍ
49:13; 68:12.
Humazah means, one who finds fault with others behind their backs and Lumazah is he who finds fault with them behind their backs or before their eyes (Aqrab). As against two basic good qualities—goodness and patience mentioned in the preceding Surah, two bad qualities which cut at the root of all social peace and harmony have been mentioned in this Surah. Backbiting and slander-mongering are the two main evils from which the so- called civilized society badly suffers today.

ھمزة (backbiter is derived from ھمز) which means he goaded or spurred him, he beat him; he broke it; he drove him; he reproached him or found fault with him; he spoke ill of him behind his back. They say ھمزته الیه الحاجة i.e. want drove him to it; ھمزة means, one who finds fault with others behind their backs much or habitually; one who backbites others; who defames men (Lane & Aqrab).
لمزة (slanderer) possesses all the meanings of ھمزة with this difference that whereas ھمزة means, one who finds fault with people behind their backs, لمزة means, who finds fault with them behind their backs or before their faces. لمزہ also means, he made a sign to him with the eye or the head and the lip with low speech (Lane & Aqrab).
Commentary:
The Surah is of general application but has been applied in particular to those evil-minded opponents of the Holy Prophet, who not being satisfied with persecuting him, defamed him and spread all sorts of lies and slanders about him. As against two basic good qualities, viz. goodness and patience, mentioned in the preceding Surah, two evil qualities which cut at the root of all social peace and harmony have been mentioned in this Surah. Backbiting and slander-mongering are the two main evils from which the so-called civilized society badly suffers today.

هُمَزَة (Humazah) 的意思是一个在背后挑剔别人的人。لُمَزَة (Lumazah) 是一个在背后或当面挑剔别人的人 (اَقْرَبْ, Aqrab)。在上一节经章中提到了两种基本的好品性, 即善良和坚忍, 作为对照, 在这一经章中提到了在根子上损害社会平安与和谐的两种坏品性。背后诽谤人和造谣中伤是今天所谓文明社会深受其害的两种主要罪恶。
