Greediness and Stinginess

267. O you who have believed, spend from the good things which you have earned and from that which We have produced for you from the earth. And do not aim toward the defective therefrom, spending [from that] while you would not take it [yourself] except with closed eyes. And know that Allāhis Free of need and Praiseworthy.
268. Satan threatens you with poverty and orders you to immorality, while Allāh promises you forgiveness from Him and bounty. And Allāh is all-Encompassing and Knowing.
269. He gives wisdom to whom He wills, and whoever has been given wisdom has certainly been given much good. And none will remember except those of understanding.

2-AlBaqarah

180. And let not those who [greedily] withhold what Allāhhas given them of His bounty ever think that it is better for them. Rather, it is worse for them. Their necks will be encircled by what they withheld on the Day of Resurrection. And to Allāhbelongs the heritage of the heavens and the earth. And Allāh, with what you do, is [fully] Acquainted.
181. Allāh has certainly heard the statement of those [Jews] who said, “Indeed, Allāh is poor, while we are rich.” We will record what they said and their killing of the prophets without right and will say, “Taste the punishment of the Burning Fire.
182. That is for what your hands have put forth and because Allāh is not ever unjust to [His] servants.”

3-Al’Imran

37. Who are stingy and enjoin upon [other] people stinginess and conceal what Allāhhas given them of His bounty – and We have prepared for the disbelievers a humiliating punishment –
38. And [also] those who spend of their wealth to be seen by the people and believe not in Allāhnor in the Last Day. And he to whom Satan is a companion – then evil is he as a companion.
39. And what [harm would come] upon them if they believed in Allāh and the Last Day and spent out of what Allāh provided for them? And Allāh is ever, about them, Knowing.
40. Indeed, Allāh does not do injustice, [even] as much as an atom’s weight; while if there is a good deed, He multiplies it and gives from Himself a great reward.

4-AnNisa

67. The hypocrite men and hypocrite women are of one another. They enjoin what is wrong and forbid what is right and close their hands. They have forgotten Allāh, so He has forgotten them [accordingly]. Indeed, the hypocrites – it is they who are the defiantly disobedient.
68. Allāh has promised the hypocrite men and hypocrite women and the disbelievers the fire of Hell, wherein they will abide eternally. It is sufficient for them. And Allāh has cursed them, and for them is an enduring punishment.

9-AtTaubah

75. And among them are those who made a covenant with Allāh, [saying], “If He should give us from His bounty, we will surely spend in charity, and we will surely be among the righteous.”
76. But when he gave them from His bounty, they were stingy with it and turned away while they refused.
77. So He penalized them with hypocrisy in their hearts until the Day they will meet Him – because they failed Allāh in what they promised Him and because they [habitually] used to lie.
78. Did they not know that Allāh knows their secrets and their private conversations and that Allāh is the Knower of the unseen?

9-AtTaubah

100. Say [to them], “If you possessed the depositories of the mercy of my Lord, then you would withhold out of fear of spending.” And ever has man been stingy.

17-AlIsra’

47. And when it is said to them, “Spend from that which Allāhhas provided for you,” those who disbelieve say to those who believe, “Should we feed one whom, if Allāh had willed, He would have fed? You are not but in clear error.”

36-YaSin

37. If He should ask you for them and press you, you would withhold, and He would expose your unwillingness.
38. Here you are – those invited to spend in the cause of Allāh – but among you are those who withhold [out of greed]. And whoever withholds only withholds [benefit] from himself; and Allāhis 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.

47-Muhammad

9. And [also for] those who were settled in al-Madīnah and [adopted] the faith before them. They love those who emigrated to them and find not any want in their breasts of what the emigrants were given but give [them] preference over themselves, even though they are in privation. And whoever is protected from the stinginess of his soul – it is those who will be the successful.
10. And [there is a share for] those who came after them, saying, “Our Lord, forgive us and our brothers who preceded us in faith and put not in our hearts [any] resentment toward those who have believed. Our Lord, indeed You are Kind and Merciful.”

59-AlHashr

4. Indeed, your efforts are diverse.
5. As for he who gives and fears Allāh
6. And believes in the best [reward],
7. We will ease him toward ease.
8. But as for he who withholds and considers himself free of need
9. And denies the best [reward],
10. We will ease him toward difficulty.
11. And what will his wealth avail him when he falls?
