وَ مَثَلُ الَّذِیْنَ یُنْفِقُوْنَ اَمْوَالَهُمُ ابْتِغَآءَ مَرْضَاتِ اللّٰهِ وَ تَثْبِیْتًا مِّنْ اَنْفُسِهِمْ كَمَثَلِ جَنَّةٍۭ بِرَبْوَةٍ اَصَابَهَا وَابِلٌ فَاٰتَتْ اُكُلَهَا ضِعْفَیْنِۚ-فَاِنْ لَّمْ یُصِبْهَا وَابِلٌ فَطَلٌّؕ-وَ اللّٰهُ بِمَا تَعْمَلُوْنَ بَصِیْرٌ(265)

English translation of Kanz-ul-Irfan

The example of those who spend, seeking the pleasure of Allah and to keep their hearts firm, is like the example of a garden which is located on high ground; it was showered with heavy rain so it produced a doubled quantity of fruit. If there is no heavy rainfall, then a light shower will suffice—and Allah sees all that you do.[1]

Commentary

[1]

This verse relates the example of those who only spend to attain the pleasure of Allah and steadfastness upon faith; just as fertile ground produces fruit whether rainfall is heavy or light, sincere charity is increased by Allah Almighty whether it is a large or small sum. In the Court of Allah Almighty, the condition of the heart is considered, not just the amount of wealth.
