Al-Baqarah 2:264 يا ايها الذين امنوا لا تبطلوا صدقاتكم بالمن والاذى كالذي ينفق ماله رياء الناس ولا يومن بالله واليوم الاخر فمثله كمثل صفوان عليه تراب فاصابه وابل فتركه صلدا لا يقدرون على شيء مما كسبوا والله لا يهدي القوم الكافرين ٢٦٤

2:264
يَٰٓأَيُّهَا
ٱلَّذِينَ
ءَامَنُواْ
لَا
تُبۡطِلُواْ
صَدَقَٰتِكُم
بِٱلۡمَنِّ
وَٱلۡأَذَىٰ
كَٱلَّذِي
يُنفِقُ
مَالَهُۥ
رِئَآءَ
ٱلنَّاسِ
وَلَا
يُؤۡمِنُ
بِٱللَّهِ
وَٱلۡيَوۡمِ
ٱلۡأٓخِرِۖ
فَمَثَلُهُۥ
كَمَثَلِ
صَفۡوَانٍ
عَلَيۡهِ
تُرَابٞ
فَأَصَابَهُۥ
وَابِلٞ
فَتَرَكَهُۥ
صَلۡدٗاۖ
لَّا
يَقۡدِرُونَ
عَلَىٰ
شَيۡءٖ
مِّمَّا
كَسَبُواْۗ
وَٱللَّهُ
لَا
يَهۡدِي
ٱلۡقَوۡمَ
ٱلۡكَٰفِرِينَ

O believers! Do not waste your charity with reminders ˹of your generosity˺ or hurtful words, like those who donate their wealth just to show off and do not believe in Allah or the Last Day. Their example is that of a hard barren rock covered with a thin layer of soil hit by a strong rain—leaving it just a bare stone. Such people are unable to preserve the reward of their charity. Allah does not guide ˹such˺ disbelieving people.
