The Holy Quran 3:181 — Surah Ali 'Imran

Arabic text

لَّقَدْ سَمِعَ ٱللَّهُ قَوْلَ ٱلَّذِينَ قَالُوٓا۟ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ فَقِيرٌ وَنَحْنُ أَغْنِيَآءُ ۘ سَنَكْتُبُ مَا قَالُوا۟ وَقَتْلَهُمُ ٱلْأَنۢبِيَآءَ بِغَيْرِ حَقٍّ وَنَقُولُ ذُوقُوا۟ عَذَابَ ٱلْحَرِيقِ

Translation

Allaah had undoubtedly heard the statement of those (Jews) who said (out of spiritual blindness and depravity), "Surely Allaah is poor and we are rich!" We shall soon record (in their record of actions) what they say and (also record) their unjust killing of the Ambiyaa. We will tell them (when they are suffering their punishment in the Aakhirah), "Taste the punishment of the Blaze (Burn as you had burnt the hearts of Allaah's friends with your taunts and mockery)!"

Tafsir (excerpt) — Tafsir Usmani

The insolent words of the Jews and the reply to them: that is, it is not only that the Jews, out of extreme miserliness, do not know how to spend money; rather, when they hear the command to spend in the path of Allah, they mock it and are not even ashamed to blurt out insolent words concerning Almighty Allah.
