Ayat 10
وَمَا لَكُمْ اَلَّا تُنْفِقُوْا فِيْ سَبِيْلِ اللّٰهِ وَلِلّٰهِ مِيْرَاثُ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالْاَرْضِۗ لَا يَسْتَوِيْ مِنْكُمْ مَّنْ اَنْفَقَ مِنْ قَبْلِ الْفَتْحِ وَقَاتَلَۗ اُولٰۤىِٕكَ اَعْظَمُ دَرَجَةً مِّنَ الَّذِيْنَ اَنْفَقُوْا مِنْۢ بَعْدُ وَقَاتَلُوْاۗ وَكُلًّا وَّعَدَ اللّٰهُ الْحُسْنٰىۗ وَاللّٰهُ بِمَا تَعْمَلُوْنَ خَبِيْرٌ ࣖ ١٠

10. And why do you not spend in the cause of Allah while to Allah belongs the heritage of the heavens and the earth? Not equal among you are those who spent before the conquest [of Makkah] and fought [and those who did so after it]. Those are greater in degree than they who spent afterwards and fought. But to all Allah has promised the best [reward]. And Allah, with what you do, is Acquainted.
Asbab Al-Nuzul
(Those who spent and fought before the victory are not upon a level (with the rest of you)…) [57:10]. Muhammad ibn Fudayl reported that al-Kalbi related that this verse was revealed about Abu Bakr al-Siddiq, may Allah be well pleased with him. This is evidenced by the report which was related to us from Muhammad ibn Ibrahim ibn Muhammad ibn 'Abdihi ibn Yahya> Abu'l-Hasan Muhammad ibn 'Abd Allah alSaliti> 'Uthman ibn Sulayman al-Baghdadi> Ya'qub ibn Ibrahim al-Makhzumi> 'Amr ibn Hafs al-Shaybani> al-'Ala' ibn 'Amr> Abu Ishaq al-Fazari> Sufyan al-Thawri> Adam ibn 'Ali> Ibn 'Umar who said: “As the Prophet, Allah bless him and give him peace, was sitting with Abu Bakr al-Siddiq, who was wearing a cloak which he gathered round his chest with pins, Gabriel, peace be upon him, came down, conveyed Allah's greetings of peace to him and said: 'O Muhammad, why is Abu Bakr wearing a cloak which he gathers round his chest with pins?' He said: 'O Gabriel, he has spent all his wealth before the conquest [of Mecca]!' He said: 'In that case, convey to him Allah's greetings of peace, glorified and exalted is He, and tell him that your Lord asks you: are you pleased with Me in your state of poverty or are you indignant?' The Prophet, Allah bless him and give him peace, addressed Abu Bakr: 'O Abu Bakr, Gabriel is here to convey the greetings of peace of Allah, glorified and exalted is He, and He is asking you: are you pleased with Him in your state of poverty or are you indignant?' Upon hearing this, Abu Bakr wept and said: 'How can I be indignant with my Lord? I am pleased with my Lord! I am pleased with my Lord!' ”
Ayat 16
۞ اَلَمْ يَأْنِ لِلَّذِيْنَ اٰمَنُوْٓا اَنْ تَخْشَعَ قُلُوْبُهُمْ لِذِكْرِ اللّٰهِ وَمَا نَزَلَ مِنَ الْحَقِّۙ وَلَا يَكُوْنُوْا كَالَّذِيْنَ اُوْتُوا الْكِتٰبَ مِنْ قَبْلُ فَطَالَ عَلَيْهِمُ الْاَمَدُ فَقَسَتْ قُلُوْبُهُمْۗ وَكَثِيْرٌ مِّنْهُمْ فٰسِقُوْنَ ١٦

16. Has the time not come for those who have believed that their hearts should become humbly submissive at the remembrance of Allah and what has come down of the truth? And let them not be like those who were given the Scripture before, and a long period passed over them, so their hearts hardened; and many of them are defiantly disobedient.
Asbab Al-Nuzul
(Is not the time ripe for the hearts of those who believe to submit to Allah’s reminder…) [57:16]. Al-Kalbi and Muqatil said: “This verse was revealed about the hypocrites, one year after Emigration. This is because one day they asked Salman al-Farisi: ‘Tell us about what is in the Torah for it contains wonders’, and so this verse was revealed”. Others said that this verse was revealed about the believers. ‘Abd al-Qahir ibn Tahir informed us> Abu ‘Amr ibn Matar> Ja‘far ibn Muhammad al-Firyabi> Ishaq ibn Rahwayh> ‘Amr ibn Muhammad al-Qurashi> Khallad ibn Muslim al-Saffar> ‘Amr ibn Qays al-Mula’i> ‘Amr ibn Murrah> Mus‘ab ibn Sa‘d> Sa‘d who said: “The Qur’an was revealed to the Messenger of Allah, Allah bless him and give him peace, and he recited it to them for a while. Then they said: ‘O Messenger of Allah, if only you narrate to us [the events of old]’, and so Allah, exalted is He, revealed (We narrate unto thee (O Muhammad) the best of narratives in that We have inspired in thee this Qur’an) [12:3]. He recited these to them for a while until they said: ‘O Messenger of Allah, if only you recite to us statements’. And so Allah, exalted is He, revealed (Allah hath (now) revealed the fairest of statements…) [39:23]. They were commanded all that through the Qur’an”. Khallad said: “Another narrator added: They also asked him: ‘O Messenger of Allah, if only you reminded us’. And so Allah, exalted is He, revealed (Is not the time ripe for the hearts of those who believe to submit to Allah’s reminder…)”.
