مَثَلُ الَّذِیْنَ یُنْفِقُوْنَ اَمْوَالَهُمْ فِیْ سَبِیْلِ اللّٰهِ كَمَثَلِ حَبَّةٍ اَنْۢبَتَتْ سَبْعَ سَنَابِلَ فِیْ كُلِّ سُنْۢبُلَةٍ مِّائَةُ حَبَّةٍ ؕ وَ اللّٰهُ یُضٰعِفُ لِمَنْ یَّشَآءُ ؕ وَ اللّٰهُ وَاسِعٌ عَلِیْمٌ۝۲۶۱

The semblance of those who expend their wealth in the way of God is that of a grain of corn from which grow seven ears, each ear containing a hundred grains. Truly God increases for whomsoever He will, for God is infinite and all-wise.

اَلَّذِیْنَ یُنْفِقُوْنَ اَمْوَالَهُمْ فِیْ سَبِیْلِ اللّٰهِ ثُمَّ لَا یُتْبِعُوْنَ مَاۤ اَنْفَقُوْا مَنًّا وَّ لَاۤ اَذًی ۙ لَّهُمْ اَجْرُهُمْ عِنْدَ رَبِّهِمْ ۚ وَ لَا خَوْفٌ عَلَیْهِمْ وَ لَا هُمْ یَحْزَنُوْنَ۝۲۶۲

Those who spend in the way of God, and having spent do not boast or give pain (by word or deed), will get their reward from their Lord, and will neither have fear nor regret.

قَوْلٌ مَّعْرُوْفٌ وَّ مَغْفِرَةٌ خَیْرٌ مِّنْ صَدَقَةٍ یَّتْبَعُهَاۤ اَذًی ؕ وَ اللّٰهُ غَنِیٌّ حَلِیْمٌ۝۲۶۳

Saying a word that is kind, and forgiving is better than charity that hurts. (Do not forget that) God is affluent and kind.

یٰۤاَیُّهَا الَّذِیْنَ اٰمَنُوْا لَا تُبْطِلُوْا صَدَقٰتِكُمْ بِالْمَنِّ وَ الْاَذٰی ۙ كَالَّذِیْ یُنْفِقُ مَالَهٗ رِئَآءَ النَّاسِ وَ لَا یُؤْمِنُ بِاللّٰهِ وَ الْیَوْمِ الْاٰخِرِ ؕ فَمَثَلُهٗ كَمَثَلِ صَفْوَانٍ عَلَیْهِ تُرَابٌ فَاَصَابَهٗ وَابِلٌ فَتَرَكَهٗ صَلْدًا ؕ لَا یَقْدِرُوْنَ عَلٰی شَیْءٍ مِّمَّا كَسَبُوْا ؕ وَ اللّٰهُ لَا یَهْدِی الْقَوْمَ الْكٰفِرِیْنَ۝۲۶۴

O believers, do not nullify your charity by giving to oblige and flaunting (your favours) like a man who spends of his wealth only to show off, but does not believe in God and the Last Day. His semblance is that of a rock covered with earth which is washed away by rain exposing the hard rock bare. So they gain nothing from their earnings. God does not guide a people who do not believe.

وَ مَثَلُ الَّذِیْنَ یُنْفِقُوْنَ اَمْوَالَهُمُ ابْتِغَآءَ مَرْضَاتِ اللّٰهِ وَ تَثْبِیْتًا مِّنْ اَنْفُسِهِمْ كَمَثَلِ جَنَّةٍۭ بِرَبْوَةٍ اَصَابَهَا وَابِلٌ فَاٰتَتْ اُكُلَهَا ضِعْفَیْنِ ۚ فَاِنْ لَّمْ یُصِبْهَا وَابِلٌ فَطَلٌّ ؕ وَ اللّٰهُ بِمَا تَعْمَلُوْنَ بَصِیْرٌ۝۲۶۵

But the semblance of those who expend their wealth to please God with firm and resolute hearts, is like a garden on a height on which the rain falls and it yields its fruits twice as much; and even if the rain does not fall the dew will suffice. For God sees all that you do.

اَیَوَدُّ اَحَدُكُمْ اَنْ تَكُوْنَ لَهٗ جَنَّةٌ مِّنْ نَّخِیْلٍ وَّ اَعْنَابٍ تَجْرِیْ مِنْ تَحْتِهَا الْاَنْهٰرُ ۙ لَهٗ فِیْهَا مِنْ كُلِّ الثَّمَرٰتِ ۙ وَ اَصَابَهُ الْكِبَرُ وَ لَهٗ ذُرِّیَّةٌ ضُعَفَآءُ ۪ۖ فَاَصَابَهَاۤ اِعْصَارٌ فِیْهِ نَارٌ فَاحْتَرَقَتْ ؕ كَذٰلِكَ یُبَیِّنُ اللّٰهُ لَكُمُ الْاٰیٰتِ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَتَفَكَّرُوْنَ۠۝۲۶۶

Does any of you wish to have an orchard full of date-palm trees and vines, and streams of running water and fruits of all kinds, and then old age should overtake him while his children are small, and a scorching whirlwind should smite and burn it down? Thus God makes His signs clear to you that you may reflect.

یٰۤاَیُّهَا الَّذِیْنَ اٰمَنُوْۤا اَنْفِقُوْا مِنْ طَیِّبٰتِ مَا كَسَبْتُمْ وَ مِمَّاۤ اَخْرَجْنَا لَكُمْ مِّنَ الْاَرْضِ ۪ وَ لَا تَیَمَّمُوا الْخَبِیْثَ مِنْهُ تُنْفِقُوْنَ وَ لَسْتُمْ بِاٰخِذِیْهِ اِلَّاۤ اَنْ تُغْمِضُوْا فِیْهِ ؕ وَ اعْلَمُوْۤا اَنَّ اللّٰهَ غَنِیٌّ حَمِیْدٌ۝۲۶۷

O believers, give in charity what is good of the things you have earned, and of what you produce from the earth; and do not choose to give what is bad as alms, that is, things you would not like to accept yourself except with some condescension. Remember that God is affluent and praiseworthy.

اَلشَّیْطٰنُ یَعِدُكُمُ الْفَقْرَ وَ یَاْمُرُكُمْ بِالْفَحْشَآءِ ۚ وَ اللّٰهُ یَعِدُكُمْ مَّغْفِرَةً مِّنْهُ وَ فَضْلًا ؕ وَ اللّٰهُ وَاسِعٌ عَلِیْمٌۖۙ۝۲۶۸

Satan threatens you with want, and orders you (to commit) shameful acts. But God promises His pardon and grace, for God is bounteous and all-knowing.

یُّؤْتِی الْحِكْمَةَ مَنْ یَّشَآءُ ۚ وَ مَنْ یُّؤْتَ الْحِكْمَةَ فَقَدْ اُوْتِیَ خَیْرًا كَثِیْرًا ؕ وَ مَا یَذَّكَّرُ اِلَّاۤ اُولُوا الْاَلْبَابِ۝۲۶۹

He gives wisdom to whomsoever He please; and those who are bestowed wisdom get good in abundance. Yet none remembers this save men of wisdom.

وَ مَاۤ اَنْفَقْتُمْ مِّنْ نَّفَقَةٍ اَوْ نَذَرْتُمْ مِّنْ نَّذْرٍ فَاِنَّ اللّٰهَ یَعْلَمُهٗ ؕ وَ مَا لِلظّٰلِمِیْنَ مِنْ اَنْصَارٍ۝۲۷۰

Whatsoever you give away in alms or vow as offering, is all known to God; but the wicked will have none to help them.
