The Holy Quran 107:7 — Surah Al-Ma'un

Arabic text

وَيَمْنَعُونَ ٱلْمَاعُونَ

Translation

...and who (are so miserly that far from spending in charity and zakaah, they) refuse (to lend others) even minor articles (of common use that would cause them no loss).

Tafsir (excerpt) — Tafsir Usmani

Those who withhold articles of everyday use: that is, never mind paying zakat, sadaqah (voluntary charity) and the like — they will not even give ordinary articles of everyday use, such as a bucket, a rope, a cooking pot, a pan, an axe, a needle and thread and so on, to anyone who asks, although giving them is a common custom throughout the world.
