HR Background

یٰۤاَیُّهَا الَّذِیْنَ اٰمَنُوْۤا اَنْفِقُوْا مِنْ طَیِّبٰتِ مَا كَسَبْتُمْ وَ مِمَّاۤ اَخْرَجْنَا لَكُمْ مِّنَ الْاَرْضِ۪-وَ لَا تَیَمَّمُوا الْخَبِیْثَ مِنْهُ تُنْفِقُوْنَ وَ لَسْتُمْ بِاٰخِذِیْهِ اِلَّاۤ اَنْ تُغْمِضُوْا فِیْهِؕ-وَ اعْلَمُوْۤا اَنَّ اللّٰهَ غَنِیٌّ حَمِیْدٌ(267)

English translation of Kanz-ul-Irfan

O you who believe! Spend ˹in the way of Allah˺ from the pure ˹assets˺ that you have earned and from that which We have produced for you from the earth—and do not intend the inferior ˹wealth˺ of it as you spend while (if you were given such) you would never accept it without overlooking it.[1] And know that Allah is Self-Sufficient, Praiseworthy.

Commentary

[1]

Many use good things for themselves but when it comes to giving in the way of Allah Almighty, they give useless or inferior items. There is a lesson for such people in this verse. If something is good but an individual does not like it, there is no harm in giving this, however, if something is disliked because it is not good or defective, this is blameworthy.
