Surah at-Tawbah

 فَلَا تُعۡجِبۡكَ أَمۡوَٲلُهُمۡ وَلَآ أَوۡلَـٰدُهُمۡ‌ۚ إِنَّمَا يُرِيدُ ٱللَّهُ لِيُعَذِّبَہُم بِہَا 

“So let not their wealth or their children amaze you (O Muhammad); in reality Allah's Plan is to punish them with these things” [9:55, 85]

This Aayah is repeated twice in exact same wording and the context explains that the first Aayah (9:55) is in relation to those who are alive whilst the second (9:85) is in relation to those who have died.

Those who are alive and are only concerned with wealth, whilst being lazy to worship and dislike spending, then their wealth will only be a source of punishment for themselves.

As for those who have died, they lacked in good deeds and after they died, the wealth they hoarded will not avail them in the slightest.

 ٱلۡمُنَـٰفِقُونَ وَٱلۡمُنَـٰفِقَـٰتُ بَعۡضُهُم مِّنۢ بَعۡضٍ۬‌ۚ يَأۡمُرُونَ بِٱلۡمُنڪَرِ وَيَنۡہَوۡنَ عَنِ ٱلۡمَعۡرُوفِ وَيَقۡبِضُونَ أَيۡدِيَہُمۡ‌ۚ نَسُواْ ٱللَّهَ فَنَسِيَہُمۡ‌ۗ إِنَّ ٱلۡمُنَـٰفِقِينَ هُمُ ٱلۡفَـٰسِقُونَ 

“The hypocrites, men and women, are from one another, they enjoin (on the people) Al-Munkar (i.e. disbelief and polytheism of all kinds and all that Islam has forbidden), and forbid (people) from Al-Ma'ruf(i.e. Islamic Monotheism and all that Islam orders one to do), and they close their hands [from giving (spending in Allah's Cause) alms, etc.]. They have forgotten Allah, so He has forgotten them. Verily, the hypocrites are the Fasiqun (rebellious, disobedient to Allah).” [9:67]

The hypocrites are not in favour of supporting the religion, nor do they wish to make the Sharee’ah apparent. Some of them say they believe but they actually still hold beliefs of the religion they converted from. They apparently show that they are united with the Muslims, but the actual state of the hypocrites is that they are divided because their cause of Kufr and Nifaaq are various even among themselves:

تَحۡسَبُهُمۡ جَمِيعً۬ا وَقُلُوبُهُمۡ شَتَّىٰ‌ۚ ذَٲلِكَ بِأَنَّهُمۡ قَوۡمٌ۬ لَّا يَعۡقِلُونَ (

“You would think they were united, but their hearts are divided, that is because they are a people who understand not.” [59:14]

And Allaah Knows Best
