يا ايها الذين امنوا لا تبطلوا صدقاتكم بالمن والاذى كالذي ينفق ماله رئاء الناس ولا يؤمن بالله واليوم الاخر فمثله كمثل صفوان عليه تراب فاصابه وابل فتركه صلدا لا يقدرون على شيء مما كسبوا والله لا يهدي القوم الكافرين

O ye who believe! Cancel not your charity By reminders of your generosity Or by injury,—like those Who spend their substance To be seen of men, But believe neither In God nor in the Last Day. They are in Parable like a hard, Barren rock, on which Is a little soil: on it Falls heavy rain, Which leaves it (Just) a bare stone. They will be able to do nothing With aught they have earned. And God guideth not Those who reject faith.
