Allah multiplies and gives (according to their sincerity) to whoever desires from Allah. Allah is Wasi (generous in Allah’s grace) and Aleem (All-Knowing).

The misinterpretation
The example of those who spend their wealth in the way of Allah is like a grain of seven spikes, that in each spike there are a hundred grains. Allah gives many times more to whom He wills. God's grace is wide. He knows everything.
The right translation
The example of those who spend on the path of Allah is that of a grain which grows seven ears and in which each ear has hundred grains. Allah multiplies and gives (according to their sincerity) to whoever desires from Allah. Allah is Wasi (generous in Allah’s grace) and Aleem (All-Knowing).
Explanation
In this verse they have also attributed shortcomings to our Lord. As we have said in the previous verses, our Lord is characterized when He removes the human will from man and exerts His will upon man.
Allah's will is to create man. After creating human beings, He gave them His Spirit and left them to their own will. Then He made a covenant with man, and whatever man willed from our Lord, our Lord gave him what he willed in his destiny. In this case, Allah does not increase the rewards of people many times over by His will. In return for the good deeds that people do, in terms of faith in our Lord, He increases many times over the good deeds of those who give wholeheartedly for the sake of Allah and whose hearts are filled with faith and who do good deeds burning with the love of Allah.
What is said in the video
There's a mistake that catches the eye in passing. What is it? Allah's willing. There is Allah's willing too. There is our Lord's willing too. There is also a person's own willing, with his will. So they mixed these two wills up and made up an excuse for it like this.
What kind of excuse did they make up? Sir, removing from a person his will doesn't amount to denying it. Sir, in this case they remove the person's willing and put it into Allah Almighty's willing.
Yes. And the religion of Islam they turn into superstitions like this.
Let's read the thing once more. The example of those who spend their wealth in the way of Allah is like a grain that grows seven ears, in each ear there are seven hundred grains. In each ear there are a hundred grains. Allah gives manifold more to whom He wills. Allah's grace is vast. He knows everything. Yet the verse is right to the end. Now we will change one letter in it. What will we say? The example of those who spend their wealth in the way of Allah is like a grain that grows seven ears, in each ear there are a hundred grains. Allah, according to their sincerity, gives manifold more to whoever among you wills it. 'According to their sincerity' is in parentheses.
To whoever wills, He gives manifold more. Allah's grace is vast. He knows everything. Look how beautiful. The verse. Open it. Those who have the Arabic should look up the words. Those words and their equivalents. Yes.
