Sura 47
Aya 38
38
ها أَنتُم هٰؤُلاءِ تُدعَونَ لِتُنفِقوا في سَبيلِ اللَّهِ فَمِنكُم مَن يَبخَلُ ۖ وَمَن يَبخَل فَإِنَّما يَبخَلُ عَن نَفسِهِ ۚ وَاللَّهُ الغَنِيُّ وَأَنتُمُ الفُقَراءُ ۚ وَإِن تَتَوَلَّوا يَستَبدِل قَومًا غَيرَكُم ثُمَّ لا يَكونوا أَمثالَكُم

T. B. Irving

Here you are, those who are called upon to spend in God’s way, even though some of you are miserly! Anyone who acts niggardly is miserly only so far as his own soul is concerned. God is Transcendent while you are poor. If you should turn away [from the call of duty and belief], He will replace you with some other folk who then will not be like you at all!
