[Machine] We used to make fun in giving charity and one of us would bring a measure (of food) and others would criticize him from among the hypocrites, so the verse was revealed: "Those who criticize the contributors among the believers concerning their charities."  

الطبراني:١٤٦٦٥حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ الْمَسْرُوقِيُّ ثَنَا عَمِّي مُوسَى بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ ثَنَا حُسَيْنُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ عَنْ زَائِدَةَ عَنِ الْأَعْمَشِ عَنْ أَبِي وَائِلٍ عَنْ أَبِي مَسْعُودٍ قَالَ

كُنَّا نَتَحَامَلُ فِي الصَّدَقَةِ فَيَجِيءُ أَحَدُنَا بِالصَّاعِ فَيَلْمِزُهُمْ نَاسٌ مِنَ الْمُنَافِقِينَ فَنَزَلَتْ {الَّذِينَ يَلْمِزُونَ الْمُطَّوِّعِينَ مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ فِي الصَّدَقَاتِ}

ذِكْرُ الْإِخْبَارِ عَمَّا يَجِبُ عَلَى الْمَرْءِ مِنْ لُزُومِ تَرْكَ اسْتَقْلَالَ الصَّدَقَةِ وَسُوءِ الظَّنِّ بِمُخْرِجِهَا

[Machine] "We used to mock each other, so a man would bring charity and it would be said, 'This is unnecessary,' and another man would bring half a sa' (unit of measurement) and it would be said, 'Indeed, Allah is wealthy and does not need this.' This verse was revealed: 'Those who ridicule the believers who give charity voluntarily.' "  

ابن حبّان:٣٣٧٦أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ أَبِي عَوْنٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ الدَّوْرَقِيُّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو دَاوُدَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا الْأَعْمَشُ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا وَائِلٍ يُحَدِّثُ عَنْ أَبِي مَسْعُودٍ الْبَدْرِيِّ قَالَ

«كُنَّا نَتَحَامَلُ فَكَانَ الرَّجُلُ يَجِيءُ بِالصَّدَقَةِ فَيُقَالُ هَذَا مُرَاءٍ وَيَجِيءُ الرَّجُلُ بِنِصْفِ الصَّاعِ فَيُقَالُ إِنَّ اللَّهَ لِغَنِيٌّ عَنْ هَذَا فَنَزَلَتْ هَذِهِ الْآيَةُ {الَّذِينَ يَلْمِزُونَ الْمُطَّوِّعِينَ مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ فِي الصَّدَقَاتِ} »
