The Holy Quran 2:262 — Surah Al-Baqarah

Arabic text

ٱلَّذِينَ يُنفِقُونَ أَمْوَٰلَهُمْ فِى سَبِيلِ ٱللَّهِ ثُمَّ لَا يُتْبِعُونَ مَآ أَنفَقُوا۟ مَنًّا وَلَآ أَذًى ۙ لَّهُمْ أَجْرُهُمْ عِندَ رَبِّهِمْ وَلَا خَوْفٌ عَلَيْهِمْ وَلَا هُمْ يَحْزَنُونَ

Translation

Those who spend in the path (obedience) of Allaah and then do not follow it up with reminders of their generosity (to make the recipient feel indebted to them) nor with (causing) hurt (to the recipient, such as making others know about it, taunting him or by taking work from him), their reward is (guaranteed and waiting for them) with their Rabb. No fear shall come upon them, nor shall they grieve (in the Aakhirah).

Tafsir (excerpt) — Tafsir Usmani

The prohibition of reminding of favours: those who spend in the way of Allah and, after spending, neither hold it as a favour with their tongues nor cause hurt, whether by taunts, by exacting service or by belittling, for them alone is complete reward; they have no fear of the reward being reduced, nor will they grieve over any loss of reward.
