The analysis above refers to the 38th verse of chapter 47 (sūrat muḥammad):

Sahih International: Here you are - those invited to spend in the cause of Allah - but among you are those who withhold [out of greed]. And whoever withholds only withholds [benefit] from himself; and Allah is the Free of need, while you are the needy. And if you turn away, He will replace you with another people; then they will not be the likes of you.

I think (47:38:22) تَتَوَلَّوْا should be فعل مضارع مجزوم because of حرف شر إِنْ.

You are right. It is فعل مضارع مجزوم. The particle إِنْ is حرف شرط.
