﴿أَلَمْ يَعْلَمُوا أَنَّ اللَّهَ هُوَ يَقْبَلُ التَّوْبَةَ عَنْ عِبَادِهِ وَيَأْخُذُ الصَّدَقَاتِ وَأَنَّ اللَّهَ هُوَ التَّوَّابُ الرَّحِيمُ﴾
[ التوبة: 104]

9:104 Do they not know that it is Allah who accepts repentance from His servants and receives charities and that it is Allah who is the Accepting of repentance, the Merciful?

Do they not know that God is He Who accepts repentance from His servants and takes accepts the voluntary alms and that God is He Who is the Relenting to His servants by accepting their repentance and the Merciful? to them the interrogative is intended as an affirmative statement and is meant to incite them to offer repentance and charity.

Do they not know that Allah is He Who alone has the rightful claim to accepting repentance and the atonement made by His servants and that He accepts offerings, and acts of charity. It is only He Who relents and quits His servants all His debt and He is Rahimun

The Command to collect the Zakah and Its Benefits Allah commanded His Messenger to take Sadaqah from the Muslims' money to purify and sanctify them with it.
This Ayah is general, even though some said that it refers specifically to those who mixed good and evil deeds, who admitted to their errors.
Some bedouin later thought that paying Zakah to the Leader was not legislated except to the Messenger ﷺ himself, using this Ayah as evidence, خُذْ مِنْ أَمْوَلِهِمْ صَدَقَةً ( Take Sadaqah from their wealth. ) Abu Bakr As-Siddiq and other Companions refuted this ill comprehension and fought against them until they paid the Zakah to the Khalifah, just as they used to pay it to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ.
As-Siddiq said, "By Allah! If they abstain from paying a bridle that they used to pay to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, I will fight them for refraining from paying it." Allah's statement, وَصَلِّ عَلَيْهِمْ ( and Salli for them ), means, supplicate for them, and ask Allah to forgive them.
In the Sahih, Muslim recorded that `Abdullah bin Abi Awfa said, "Whenever the Prophet was brought charity, he used to invoke Allah for those who brought it.
My father also brought his charity and the Prophet said,
«اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى آلِ أَبِي أَوْفَى»
( O Allah! I invoke You for the family of Abu Awfa. )" Allah's statement, إِنَّ صَلَوَتَكَ سَكَنٌ لَّهُمْ ( Verily, your Salat are a Sakan for them ), means, a mercy for them, according to Ibn `Abbas.
Allah said next, وَاللَّهُ سَمِيعٌ ( and Allah is All-Hearer, ) of your invocation ( O Muhammad ), عَلِيمٌ ( All-Knower. ) in those who deserve your invocation on their behalf, who are worthy of it.
Allah said, أَلَمْ يَعْلَمُواْ أَنَّ اللَّهَ هُوَ يَقْبَلُ التَّوْبَةَ عَنْ عِبَادِهِ وَيَأْخُذُ الصَّدَقَـتِ ( Know they not that Allah accepts repentance from His servants and accepts the Sadaqat ) This Ayah encourages reverting to repentance and giving charity, for each of these actions erases, deletes and eradicate sins.
Allah states that He accepts the repentance of those who repent to Him, as well as charity from pure resources, for Allah accepts it with His Right Hand and raises it for its giver until even a date becomes as large as Mount Uhud.
Abu Hurayrah narrated that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said,
«إِنَّ اللهَ يَقْبَلُ الصَّدَقَةَ وَيَأْخُذُهَا بِيَمِينِهِ فَيُرَبِّيهَا لِأَحَدِكُمْ كَمَا يُرَبِّي أَحَدُكُمْ مُهْرَهُ، حَتَّى إِنَّ اللُّقْمَةَ لَتَكُونُ مِثْلَ أُحُد»
( Verily, Allah accepts charity, receives it in His Right Hand and develops it for its giver, just as one of you raises his pony, until the bite of food becomes as large as Uhud. ) wThe Book of Allah, the Exalted and Most Honored, testifies to this Hadith, أَلَمْ يَعْلَمُواْ أَنَّ اللَّهَ هُوَ يَقْبَلُ التَّوْبَةَ عَنْ عِبَادِهِ وَيَأْخُذُ الصَّدَقَـتِ ( Know they not that Allah accepts repentance from His servants and accepts the Sadaqat ), and, يَمْحَقُ اللَّهُ الْرِّبَواْ وَيُرْبِى الصَّدَقَـتِ ( Allah will destroy Riba and will give increase for Sadaqat. ) 2:276 `Abdullah bin Mas`ud said, "Charity falls in Allah's Hand before it falls in the needy's hand," he then recited this Ayah, أَلَمْ يَعْلَمُواْ أَنَّ اللَّهَ هُوَ يَقْبَلُ التَّوْبَةَ عَنْ عِبَادِهِ وَيَأْخُذُ الصَّدَقَـتِ ( Know they not that Allah accepts repentance from His servants and accepts the Sadaqat ).

( Know they not that Allah is He Who accepteth repentance from His bondmen and taketh the alms ) and accepts the alms, ( and that Allah is He Who is the Relenting ) the Forgiving, ( the Merciful ) towards he who repents.

Know they not that Allah accepts repentance from His slaves and takes the Sadaqat (alms, charities) and that Allah Alone is the One Who forgives and accepts repentance, Most Merciful?
