The Holy Quran 34:39 — Surah Saba

Arabic text

قُلْ إِنَّ رَبِّى يَبْسُطُ ٱلرِّزْقَ لِمَن يَشَآءُ مِنْ عِبَادِهِۦ وَيَقْدِرُ لَهُۥ ۚ وَمَآ أَنفَقْتُم مِّن شَىْءٍ فَهُوَ يُخْلِفُهُۥ ۖ وَهُوَ خَيْرُ ٱلرَّٰزِقِينَ

Translation

Say, "Verily my Rabb increases sustenance for whoever of His bondsmen He wills and decreases for him (whom He wills as a test for them). Whatever good (wealth) you spend (in charity for Allaah's pleasure), He will replace it (with a reward that is far more valuable). He is the best of providers."

Tafsir (excerpt) — Tafsir Usmani

scarcity and abundance of provision are in Allah's hand. This was said to the Muslims: when spending in good causes, do not fear straitness and poverty. Provision does not decrease through spending: what is decreed will certainly arrive.
