Quran 2:262 — Al-Baqara, verse 262
M. A. S. Abdel Haleem · selected translation
Those who spend their wealth in God’s cause, and do not follow their spending with reminders of their benevolence or hurtful words, will have their rewards with their Lord: no fear for them, nor will they grieve.
الَّذِينَ يُنْفِقُونَ أَمْوَالَهُمْ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ ثُمَّ لَا يُتْبِعُونَ مَا أَنْفَقُوا مَنًّا وَلَا أَذًى ۙ لَهُمْ أَجْرُهُمْ عِنْدَ رَبِّهِمْ وَلَا خَوْفٌ عَلَيْهِمْ وَلَا هُمْ يَحْزَنُونَ
alladhīna yunfiqūna amwālahum fī sabīli l-lahi thumma lā yut'biʿūna mā anfaqū mannan walā adhan lahum ajruhum ʿinda rabbihim walā khawfun ʿalayhim walā hum yaḥzanūna
