وَمَآ And whatever أَنفَقْتُم you spend مِّن (out) of نَّفَقَةٍ (your) expenditures أَوْ or نَذَرْتُم you vow مِّن of نَّذْرٍۢ vow(s) فَإِنَّ then indeed ٱللَّهَ Allah يَعْلَمُهُۥ ۗ knows it وَمَا and not لِلظَّـٰلِمِينَ for the wrongdoers مِنْ any أَنصَارٍ helpers ٢٧٠

And whatever you spend of expenditures or make of vows - indeed, Allāh knows of it. And for the wrongdoers there are no helpers.

إِن If تُبْدُوا۟ you disclose ٱلصَّدَقَـٰتِ the charities فَنِعِمَّا then good هِىَ ۖ it (is) وَإِن But if تُخْفُوهَا you keep it secret وَتُؤْتُوهَا and give it ٱلْفُقَرَآءَ (to) the poor فَهُوَ then it خَيْرٌۭ (is) better لَّكُمْ ۚ for you وَيُكَفِّرُ And He will remove عَنكُم from you مِّن [of] سَيِّـَٔاتِكُمْ ۗ your evil deeds وَٱللَّهُ And Allah بِمَا with what تَعْمَلُونَ you do خَبِيرٌۭ (is) All-Aware ٢٧١

If you disclose your charitable expenditures, they are good; but if you conceal them and give them to the poor, it is better for you, and He will remove from you some of your misdeeds [thereby]. And Allāh, of what you do, is [fully] Aware.

۞ لَّيْسَ Not عَلَيْكَ on you هُدَىٰهُمْ (is) their guidance وَلَـٰكِنَّ [and] but ٱللَّهَ Allah يَهْدِى guides مَن whom يَشَآءُ ۗ He wills وَمَا And whatever تُنفِقُوا۟ you spend مِنْ of خَيْرٍۢ good فَلِأَنفُسِكُمْ ۚ then it is for yourself وَمَا and not تُنفِقُونَ you spend إِلَّا except ٱبْتِغَآءَ seeking وَجْهِ (the) face ٱللَّهِ ۚ (of) Allah وَمَا And whatever تُنفِقُوا۟ you spend مِنْ of خَيْرٍۢ good يُوَفَّ will be repaid in full إِلَيْكُمْ to you وَأَنتُمْ and you لَا (will) not تُظْلَمُونَ be wronged ٢٧٢

Not upon you, [O Muḥammad], is [responsibility for] their guidance, but Allāh guides whom He wills. And whatever good you [believers] spend is for yourselves, and you do not spend except seeking the face [i.e., approval] of Allāh. And whatever you spend of good - it will be fully repaid to you, and you will not be wronged.

لِلْفُقَرَآءِ For the poor ٱلَّذِينَ those who أُحْصِرُوا۟ are wrapped up فِى in سَبِيلِ (the) way ٱللَّهِ (of) Allah لَا not يَسْتَطِيعُونَ they are able ضَرْبًۭا (to) move about فِى in ٱلْأَرْضِ the earth يَحْسَبُهُمُ Think (about) them ٱلْجَاهِلُ the ignorant one أَغْنِيَآءَ (that they are) self-sufficient مِنَ (because) of ٱلتَّعَفُّفِ (their) restraint تَعْرِفُهُم you recognize them بِسِيمَـٰهُمْ by their mark لَا Not يَسْـَٔلُونَ (do) they ask ٱلنَّاسَ the people إِلْحَافًۭا ۗ with importunity وَمَا And whatever تُنفِقُوا۟ you spend مِنْ of خَيْرٍۢ good فَإِنَّ then indeed ٱللَّهَ Allah بِهِۦ of it عَلِيمٌ (is) All-Knower ٢٧٣

[Charity is] for the poor who have been restricted for the cause of Allāh, unable to move about in the land. An ignorant [person] would think them self-sufficient because of their restraint, but you will know them by their [characteristic] sign. They do not ask people persistently [or at all]. And whatever you spend of good - indeed, Allāh is Knowing of it.

ٱلَّذِينَ Those who يُنفِقُونَ spend أَمْوَٰلَهُم their wealth بِٱلَّيْلِ by night وَٱلنَّهَارِ and day سِرًّۭا secretly وَعَلَانِيَةًۭ and openly فَلَهُمْ then for them أَجْرُهُمْ (is) their reward عِندَ with رَبِّهِمْ their Lord وَلَا and no خَوْفٌ fear عَلَيْهِمْ on them وَلَا and not هُمْ they يَحْزَنُونَ will grieve ٢٧٤

Those who spend their wealth [in Allāh's way] by night and by day, secretly and publicly - they will have their reward with their Lord. And no fear will there be concerning them, nor will they grieve.
