The Holy Quran 2:261 — Surah Al-Baqarah

Arabic text

مَّثَلُ ٱلَّذِينَ يُنفِقُونَ أَمْوَٰلَهُمْ فِى سَبِيلِ ٱللَّهِ كَمَثَلِ حَبَّةٍ أَنۢبَتَتْ سَبْعَ سَنَابِلَ فِى كُلِّ سُنۢبُلَةٍ مِّا۟ئَةُ حَبَّةٍ ۗ وَٱللَّهُ يُضَـٰعِفُ لِمَن يَشَآءُ ۗ وَٱللَّهُ وَٰسِعٌ عَلِيمٌ

Translation

The likeness of those who spend in the way (obedience) of Allaah is like a grain which grows seven ears, in every ear (there are) a hundred grains (like this, whatever a person spends will be multiplied seven hundred times). Allaah increases (more then seven hundred times to 7000 or even more) for those whom He wills. Allaah is All Embracing (His grace surrounds all), All Knowing (He knows who deserves more).

Tafsir (excerpt) — Tafsir Usmani

The merits of spending wealth: that is, even for a little wealth spent in the way of Allah the reward is great, as when from one grain seven hundred grains are produced; and Almighty Allah increases it for whom He wills, making seven hundred into seven thousand and even more.
