The Holy Qur’an gives us a social case which was common between people in Makkah; a group of Quraish masters used to dominate people’s sustenance and exploit their need by using their authority and position.

Allah (swt) uses the word (upon) instead of (from) to mean that they take from people more than their right, because they had authority and domination so that they misuse other’s need and take in full over the limit.
