And let not those who covetously withhold of the gifts which Allah Hath given them of His Grace, think that it is good for them: Nay, it will be the worse for them: soon shall the things which they covetously withheld be tied to their necks Like a twisted collar, on the Day of Judgment. To Allah belongs the heritage of the heavens and the earth; and Allah is well-acquainted with all that ye do.

(Nor) those who are niggardly or enjoin niggardliness on others, or hide the bounties which Allah hath bestowed on them; for We have prepared, for those who resist Faith, a punishment that steeps them in contempt;-

Such persons as are covetous and commend covetousness to men. And if any turn back (from Allah's Way), verily Allah is Free of all Needs, Worthy of all Praise.

吝惜真主所赐的恩惠的人，绝不要认为他们的吝惜，对于他们是有益的，其实，那对于他们是有害的；复活日，他们所吝惜的（财产），要像一个项圈一样，套在他们的颈项上。天地间的遗产，只是真主的。真主是彻知你们的行为的。

他们中有自己吝啬，且隐讳真主所赐他们的恩惠的人，我已为（他们这等）不信道的人预备了凌辱的刑罚。

他们自己吝啬，还教别人吝啬。规避义务的人们，真主确是无求于他们的，确是可颂的。
