The Holy Quran 57:24 — Surah Al-Hadid

Arabic text

ٱلَّذِينَ يَبْخَلُونَ وَيَأْمُرُونَ ٱلنَّاسَ بِٱلْبُخْلِ ۗ وَمَن يَتَوَلَّ فَإِنَّ ٱللَّهَ هُوَ ٱلْغَنِىُّ ٱلْحَمِيدُ

Translation

who is miserly and who instructs (teaches) others to be miserly. And whoever turns away (from thanking and worshipping Allaah), then (he should know that) Allaah is certainly Independent (not in need of his gratitude or worship), Most Worthy of praise (all praise belongs to Him regardless of whether the Kaafir accepts it or not).

Tafsir (excerpt) — Tafsir Usmani

Allah does not like boasting and pride: this is usually the state of most arrogant rich people: they will boast and brag a great deal, but when it comes to spending, not a coin will come out of their pocket.
