Those who expend their wealth in the way of God then do not follow up their expenditure with a reminder of their generosity and injury their wage is with their Lord and no fear shall befall them neither shall they grieve. The reminder of generosity is proclaiming what you did. The injury is point- ing out your beneficence to the one who receives it. It is said that they expend what they expend but they most assuredly do not say anything about their actions or works. It is said �How can you give something while seeking to maintain your control416 and rights over itḍ� It is said that they do not remind others of what they have done for them but rather bear witness to the favor of God [who] grants them success in that [act of generosity].
- 2:262262
الَّذِينَ يُنْفِقُونَ أَمْوَالَهُمْ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ ثُمَّ لَا يُتْبِعُونَ مَا أَنْفَقُوا مَنًّا وَلَا أَذًى ۙ لَهُمْ أَجْرُهُمْ عِنْدَ رَبِّهِمْ وَلَا خَوْفٌ عَلَيْهِمْ وَلَا هُمْ يَحْزَنُونَ
Those who expend their riches in the way of Allah and thereafter follow not that which they have expended with the laying of an obligation or with hurt, for them shall be their hire with their Lord; and no fear shall come on them, nor shall they grieve.
