(1) The statement: “Indeed, some men misuse Allah’s wealth unlawfully, and for them is the Fire on the Day of Resurrection”: The term “misuse” here refers to disposing of the public treasury, spoils, and the like without right, and taking from them beyond what is legislated. This encompasses the actions of governors and subjects who take more than their allotted sustenance and share. As stated in Al-Lam‘at.
