سُوْرَةُ اٰلِ عِمْرٰنَ
Surah Aal-i-Imraan (3) — Ayah 181
لَّقَدْ سَمِعَ ٱللَّهُ قَوْلَ ٱلَّذِينَ قَالُوٓا۟ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ فَقِيرٌ وَنَحْنُ أَغْنِيَآءُ ۘ سَنَكْتُبُ مَا قَالُوا۟ وَقَتْلَهُمُ ٱلْأَنۢبِيَآءَ بِغَيْرِ حَقٍّ وَنَقُولُ ذُوقُوا۟ عَذَابَ ٱلْحَرِيقِ ﴿181﴾
Translation by Dr. Muhammad Muhsin Khan & Dr. Taqi-ud-Din al-Hilali
Indeed, Allâh has heard the statement of those (Jews) who say: "Truly, Allâh is poor and we are rich!" We shall record what they have said and their killing of the Prophets unjustly, and We shall say: "Taste you the torment of the burning (Fire)."

181. 1. When Allah Almighty encouraged the believers to spend in the way of Allah and said (مَنْ ذَا الَّذِيْ يُقْرِضُ اللّٰهَ قَرْضًا حَسَنًا) 57:11 Who is it that will lend to Allah a goodly loan! the Jews said, "O Muhammad ﷺ, has your Lord become poor that He is asking His servants for a loan?" Upon this, Allah Almighty revealed this verse.
181. 2. That is, the aforementioned statement in which there is disrespect towards Allah, and likewise their (ancestors') unjust killing of the Prophets (peace be upon them), all their crimes are recorded in the presence of Allah, for which they will be entered into the fire of Hell.
