ٱلَّذِينَ Those who alladhīna spend yunfiqūna their wealth amwālahum in fī (the) way sabīli (of) Allah l-lahi then thumma not lā they follow yut'biʿūna what mā they spend anfaqū (with) reminders of generosity mannan and not walā hurt adhan for them lahum their reward ajruhum (is) with ʿinda their Lord rabbihim and (there will be) no walā fear khawfun on them ʿalayhim and not walā they hum will grieve yaḥzanūna
Those who spend their wealth in the way of Allāh and then do not follow up what they have spent with reminders [of it] or [other] injury will have their reward with their Lord, and there will be no fear concerning them, nor will they grieve.
۞ قَوْلٌۭ A word qawlun kind maʿrūfun and (seeking) forgiveness wamaghfiratun (are) better khayrun than min a charity ṣadaqatin followed [it] yatbaʿuhā (by) hurt adhan And Allah wal-lahu (is) All-Sufficient ghaniyyun All-Forbearing ḥalīmun
Kind speech and forgiveness are better than charity followed by injury. And Allāh is Free of need and Forbearing.
يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا O you yāayyuhā who alladhīna believe[d] āmanū (Do) not lā render in vain tub'ṭilū your charities ṣadaqātikum with reminders (of it) bil-mani or [the] hurt wal-adhā like the one who ka-alladhī spends yunfiqu his wealth mālahu (to) be seen riāa (by) the people l-nāsi and (does) not walā believe yu'minu in Allah bil-lahi and the Day wal-yawmi [the] Last l-ākhiri Then his example famathaluhu (is) like kamathali (that of a) smooth rock ṣafwānin upon it ʿalayhi (is) dust turābun then fell on it fa-aṣābahu heavy rain wābilun then left it fatarakahu bare ṣaldan Not lā they have control yaqdirūna on ʿalā anything shayin of what mimmā they (have) earned kasabū And Allah wal-lahu (does) not lā guide yahdī the people l-qawma [the] disbelieving l-kāfirīna
O you who have believed, do not invalidate your charities with reminders [of it] or injury as does one who spends his wealth [only] to be seen by the people and does not believe in Allāh and the Last Day. His example is like that of a [large] smooth stone upon which is dust and is hit by a downpour that leaves it bare. They are unable [to keep] anything of what they have earned. And Allāh does not guide the disbelieving people.
