سُوْرَةُ البَقَرَةِ
Surah Al-Baqara (2) — Ayah 262
ٱلَّذِينَ يُنفِقُونَ أَمْوَٰلَهُمْ فِى سَبِيلِ ٱللَّهِ ثُمَّ لَا يُتْبِعُونَ مَآ أَنفَقُوا۟ مَنًّا وَلَآ أَذًى ۙ لَّهُمْ أَجْرُهُمْ عِندَ رَبِّهِمْ وَلَا خَوْفٌ عَلَيْهِمْ وَلَا هُمْ يَحْزَنُونَ ﴿262﴾
Translation by Dr. Muhammad Muhsin Khan & Dr. Taqi-ud-Din al-Hilali
Those who spend their wealth in the Cause of Allâh, and do not follow up their gifts with reminders of their generosity or with injury, their reward is with their Lord. On them shall be no fear, nor shall they grieve.

Tafsir al-Quran al-Karim — Hafiz Abdus Salam Bin Muhammad Bhutvi
Tafsir al-Quran al-Karim is a 4-volume Quran commentary by Hafiz Abdus Salam bin Muhammad Bhutvi, a renowned Salafi (Ahl al-Hadith) scholar and Sheikh ul-Hadith from Pakistan. Based on over 45 years of teaching and research, this tafsir follows the methodology of Tafsir bil-Ma'thur — interpreting the Quran through authentic Hadith, statements of the Companions, and the understanding of the early generations (Salaf). It is distinguished by its complete avoidance of Israeliyyat (Judeo-Christian narratives) and unverified reports. The tafsir is originally written in Urdu, translated to English by tohed.com.
(Ayah 262){اَلَّذِيْنَ يُنْفِقُوْنَ اَمْوَالَهُمْ … :} That is, this reward will be attained only by those who spend for the pleasure of Allah, and after spending, neither remind anyone of their favor nor cause any harm by word or deed. To remind someone of a favor after giving them something is a major sin. Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “There are three people with whom Allah will neither speak on the Day of Resurrection, nor look at them, nor purify them, and for them is a painful punishment.” The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said this three times. Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him) said: “They are ruined and lost, O Messenger of Allah! Who are they?” He said: “The one who lets his garment hang below his ankles, the one who reminds others of his favors, and the one who sells his goods by swearing a false oath.” [مسلم، الإیمان، باب بیان غلظ تحریم إسبال … : ۱۰۶ ]
