O ye who believe! cancel not your charity by reminders of your generosity or by injury,- like those who spend their substance to be seen of men, but believe neither in Allah nor in the Last Day. They are in parable like a hard, barren rock, on which is a little soil: on it falls heavy rain, which leaves it (Just) a bare stone. They will be able to do nothing with aught they have earned. And Allah guideth not those who reject faith.

The parable of those who reject their Lord is that their works are as ashes, on which the wind blows furiously on a tempestuous day: No power have they over aught that they have earned: that is the straying far, far (from the goal).

That the People of the Book may know that they have no power whatever over the Grace of Allah, that (His) Grace is (entirely) in His Hand, to bestow it on whomsoever He wills. For Allah is the Lord of Grace abounding.

信道的人们啊！你们不要责备受施的人和损害他，而使你们的施舍变为无效，犹如为沽名而施舍财产，并不信真主和後世的人一样。他譬如一个光滑的石头，上面铺著一层浮土，一阵大雨过後，使它变得又硬又滑。他们不能获得他们所施舍的任何报酬。真主是不引导不信道的民众的。

不信主者，他们的善功比如一堆灰，在暴风之日，被狂风吹散，他们对于自己所谋求的，不能获得一点报酬。这确是深深的迷误。

以便曾受天经的人们知道，他们简直不能操纵真主的恩典，并且知道，凡恩典都在真主的掌握中，他要赏赐谁，就赏赐谁，真主是有宏恩的。
