هَا أَنتُمْ
هَؤُلَاءِ
تُدْعَوْنَ
لِتُنفِقُوا
فِي
سَبِيلِ
اللَّهِ
فَمِنكُم
مَّن
يَبْخَلُ
وَمَن
يَبْخَلْ
فَإِنَّمَا
يَبْخَلُ
عَن
نَّفْسِهِ
وَاللَّهُ
الْغَنِيُّ
وَأَنتُمُ
الْفُقَرَاءُ
وَإِن
تَتَوَلَّوْا
يَسْتَبْدِلْ
قَوْمًا
غَيْرَكُمْ
ثُمَّ
لَا
يَكُونُوا
أَمْثَالَكُم

Behold, ye are those invited to spend (of your substance) in the Way of Allah: But among you are some that are niggardly. But any who are niggardly are so at the expense of their own souls. But Allah is free of all wants, and it is ye that are needy. If ye turn back (from the Path), He will substitute in your stead another people; then they would not be like you!
— Abdullah Yusufali
Ah! There you are, being invited to spend in the way of Allah; yet among you there are those who are stingy; and whoever is stingy is stingy only to himself. Allah is the All-sufficient, and you are all-needy, and if you turn away He will replace you with another people, and they will not be like you.
