Muhammad 47:37

Qatadah said, "Allah knows that extracting wealth (i.e., money from people) brings about ill-wills. " Indeed, Qatadah has said the truth, because money is …

If He should ask it of you and importune you, ye would hoard it, and He would bring to light your (secret) hates.

If He were to ask you for all of them, and press you, ye would covetously withhold, and He would bring out all your ill-feeling.

Were He to ask you for it, and press you, you would become tightfisted, and He would expose your unwillingness.
