O you who believe! Do not render in vain your Sadaqah (charity) by reminders of your generosity or by injury, like him who spends his wealth to be seen of men, and he does not believe in Allah, nor in the Last Day. His likeness is the likeness of a smooth rock on which is a little dust; on it falls heavy rain which leaves it bare. They are not able to do anything with what they have earned. And Allah does not guide the disbelieving people.
Enyi mlio amini! Msiharibu sadaka zenu kwa masimbulizi na maudhi, kama anaye toa mali yake kwa kuwaonyesha watu, wala hamuamini Mwenyezi Mungu wala Siku ya Mwisho. Basi mfano wake ni kama mfano wa jabali ambalo juu yake pana udongo, kisha likapigwa na mvua kubwa, ikaliacha tupu. Basi hawatakuwa na uweza wowote kwa walivyo chuma. Na Mwenyezi Mungu hawaongoi watu makafiri.
