Medinan · 38 ayahs

47:38

هَٓا اَنْتُمْ هٰٓؤُ𐻾لَٓاءِ تُدْعَوْنَ لِتُنْفِقُوا فٖی سَبٖیلِ اللّٰهِۚ فَمِنْكُمْ مَنْ یَبْخَلُۚ وَمَنْ یَبْخَلْ فَاِنَّمَا یَبْخَلُ عَنْ نَفْسِهٖؕ وَاللّٰهُ الْغَنِیُّ وَاَنْتُمُ الْفُقَرَٓاءُۚ وَاِنْ تَتَوَلَّوْا یَسْتَبْدِلْ قَوْمًا غَیْرَكُمْۙ ثُمَّ لَا یَكُونُٓوا اَمْثَالَكُمْ

Haantum haolai tudAAawna litunfiqoo fee sabeeli Allahi faminkum man yabkhalu waman yabkhal fainnama yabkhalu AAan nafsihi waAllahu alghaniyyu waantumu alfuqarao wain tatawallaw yastabdil qawman ghayrakum thumma la yakoonoo amthalakum

Translations

Here you are - those invited to spend in the cause of Allah - but among you are those who withhold [out of greed]. And whoever withholds only withholds [benefit] from himself; and Allah is the Free of need, while you are the needy. And if you turn away, He will replace you with another people; then they will not be the likes of you

Saheeh International

Lo! ye are those who are called to spend in the way of Allah, yet among you there are some who hoard. And as for him who hoardeth, he hoardeth only from his soul. And Allah is the Rich, and ye are the poor. And if ye turn away He will exchange you for some other folk, and they will not be the likes of you
