ENTafsir Ibn Kathir
Concerning Allah's statement,
تَدْعُو مَنْ أَدْبَرَ وَتَوَلَّى ﴿١٧﴾
وَجَمَعَ فَأَوْعَى ﴿١٨﴾
Calling (all) such as turn their backs and turn away their faces. And collect and hide it.
meaning, the Fire will call out to its children whom Allah created for it, determining that they will perform the deeds deserving of it in the worldly life. So it will call them on the Day of Judgement with an eloquent and articulate tongue. Then it will pick them out from the people of the gathering just as birds pick seeds. This is because they were, as Allah said, of those who turned their backs and turned away.
This means they denied with their hearts and abandoned the performance of deeds with their limbs.
وَجَمَعَ فَأَوْعَى
And collect and hide it.
meaning, he gathered wealth piling it up, and he concealed it,
meaning he hid it and refused to give the obligatory right of Allah that was due on it of spending and paying the Zakah.
It has been recorded in a Hadith that the Prophet said,
لَا تُوعِي فَيُوعِيَ اللهُ عَلَيْك
Do not hold back (your wealth) or else Allah will hold back from you.
ARتفسير ابن كثير
أي جمع المال بعضه على بعض فأوعاه أي أوكاه ومنع حق الله منه من الواجب عليه في النفقات ومن إخراج الزكاة وقد ورد في الحديث" لا توعي فيوعي الله عليك " وكان عبد الله بن عكيم لا يربط له كيسا ويقول سمعت الله عز وجل يقول" وجمع فأوعى " وقال الحسن البصري يا ابن آدم سمعت وعيد الله ثم أوعيت الدنيا وقال قتادة في قوله وجمع فأوعى قال كان جموعا قموما للخبيث.
ARتفسير الجلالين
"وجمع" المال "فأوعى" أمسكه في وعائه ولم يؤد حق الله منه
ARتفسير القرطبي
أي جمع المال فجعله في وعائه ومنع منه حق الله تعالى ; فكان جموعا منوعا . قال الحكم : كان عبد الله بن عكيم لا يربط كيسه ويقول سمعت الله يقول : " وجمع فأوعى " .
