At-Tawbah 9:34 ۞ يا ايها الذين امنوا ان كثيرا من الاحبار والرهبان لياكلون اموال الناس بالباطل ويصدون عن سبيل الله والذين يكنزون الذهب والفضة ولا ينفقونها في سبيل الله فبشرهم بعذاب اليم ٣٤

ٱلَّذِينَ
ءَامَنُوٓاْ
إِنَّ
كَثِيرٗا
مِّنَ
ٱلۡأَحۡبَارِ
وَٱلرُّهۡبَانِ
لَيَأۡكُلُونَ

سَبِيلِ
ٱللَّهِۗ

يَكۡنِزُونَ
ٱلذَّهَبَ
وَٱلۡفِضَّةَ
وَلَا
يُنفِقُونَهَا
فِي
سَبِيلِ
ٱللَّهِ
فَبَشِّرۡهُم
بِعَذَابٍ
