وَءَاتِ ذَا ٱلْقُرْبَىٰ حَقَّهُۥ وَٱلْمِسْكِينَ وَٱبْنَ ٱلسَّبِيلِ وَلَا تُبَذِّرْ تَبْذِيرًا
إِنَّ ٱلْمُبَذِّرِينَ كَانُوٓا۟ إِخْوَٰنَ ٱلشَّيَٰطِينِ وَكَانَ ٱلشَّيْطَٰنُ لِرَبِّهِۦ كَفُورًا
Why this meaning was chosen
All three targets form one tightly linked prohibition: the finite Form II verb is reinforced by its cognate verbal noun, and the following active participle classifies those who practice the act. The preceding command to give each claimant their due fixes the contrast as wasteful misdirection of resources.
