Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, put the establishing of prayer before the giving of zakah in the Quran for a purpose:

Namely, that prayer contains the Quran, and when one prays his soul is enriched by the Quran, so it becomes more able to enrich others through zakah and charity

And when Ibn Hajar al-Asqalani explained the hadith "he would study the Quran with him, and he was more generous than the wind sent forth"

He said in commentary: ( so he would study the Quran with him ) It was said that the wisdom in this is that studying the Quran renews his bond with greater richness of soul, and richness of soul is a cause of generosity."

(And recite to them the news of him to whom We gave Our signs, but he detached himself from them)

(And recite to them the news of him to whom We gave Our signs, but he detached himself from them; so Satan pursued him, and he became of the deviators) A parable Allah struck for the one to whom He gave the Quran and clear proofs, yet he did not act upon it; and the cause of his swerving from guidance: following desire instead of the Book; and preferring this world over the Hereafter.
