Sura 4
Aya 38
38
وَالَّذينَ يُنفِقونَ أَموالَهُم رِئَاءَ النّاسِ وَلا يُؤمِنونَ بِاللَّهِ وَلا بِاليَومِ الآخِرِ ۗ وَمَن يَكُنِ الشَّيطانُ لَهُ قَرينًا فَساءَ قَرينًا

Yusuf Ali

Not those who spend of their substance, to be seen1 of men, but have no faith in God and the Last Day: If any take the Evil One for their intimate, what a dreadful intimate he is!
  • A fault opposed to miserliness, and equally opposed to true charity, is to spend lavishly to be seen of men. It is mere hypocrisy; there is no love in it, either for God or for man.
