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.
