Al-Baqarah · Ayah 264 · Juz 3 · Page 44

يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ لَا تُبۡطِلُواْ صَدَقَٰتِكُم بِٱلۡمَنِّ وَٱلۡأَذَىٰ كَٱلَّذِي يُنفِقُ مَالَهُۥ رِئَآءَ ٱلنَّاسِ وَلَا يُؤۡمِنُ بِٱللَّهِ وَٱلۡيَوۡمِ ٱلۡأٓخِرِۖ فَمَثَلُهُۥ كَمَثَلِ صَفۡوَانٍ عَلَيۡهِ تُرَابٞ فَأَصَابَهُۥ وَابِلٞ فَتَرَكَهُۥ صَلۡدٗاۖ لَّا يَقۡدِرُونَ عَلَىٰ شَيۡءٖ مِّمَّا كَسَبُواْۗ وَٱللَّهُ لَا يَهۡدِي ٱلۡقَوۡمَ ٱلۡكَٰفِرِينَ ٢٦٤

Yāʾayyuhal-ladhīna āmanū lā tubṭilū ṣadaqātikum bil-manni wal-adhā kal-ladhī yunfiqu mālahū riʾāʾan-nāsi wa lā yuʾminu billāhi wal-yawmil-ākhir, famathaluhū kamathali ṣafwānin ʿalayhi turābun fa aṣābahū wābilun fatarakahū ṣaldā, lā yaqdirūna ʿalā shayʾim mimmā kasabū, wallāhu lā yahdil-qawmal-kāfirīn.

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.
