Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) narrated that she asked the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) about this verse: And those who give what they give while their hearts are fearful 1 (Al-Mu’minun: 60), saying: “Are they those who drink wine and steal?” He said: “No, O daughter of As-Siddiq. Rather, they are those who fast, pray, and give charity, yet fear that it may not be accepted from them. They are those who hasten to good deeds.”

Note 1
(1) His statement: And those who give what they give – the seven readers read: “yu’tuna ma ataw” (Al-Mu’minun: 60) from “giving,” though it has been read as “ya’tuna” from “coming.” Aishah’s question is not based on this reading, but the first is what appears in the texts. It seems the second was intended. It can be explained that the subject “gives” the act from himself and produces it. Understand. (As stated in Al-Lama’at)

(۱) قوله: والذين يؤتون إلخ : قراءة السبعة : يُؤْتُونَ مَا ءَاتَوا (المؤمنون: (٦٠) من الإيتاء، وقد قرئ يأتون من الإتيان، وسؤال عائشة لا مبني على هذه القراءة، لكن الواقع في النسخ هو الأولى، والظاهر أن يكون الثانية، وقد يوجه بأن الفاعل يؤتي أي يعطي من نفسه الفعل ويخرج منها، فافهم. كذا في اللمعات».
