((How much more seemly) had they) i.e. the hypocrites (been content with that which Allah and His messenger had given them) of Allah's bounty (and had said: Allah sufficeth us) we trust in Allah. (Allah will give us of His bounty) Allah will make us rich with His favour by means of His sustenance, (and (also) His messenger) through his gifts. (Unto Allah we are supplicants) we desire Allah. Had they said this, it would have been better for them.
