The Holy Quran 64:16 — Surah At-Taghabun

Arabic text

فَٱتَّقُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ مَا ٱسْتَطَعْتُمْ وَٱسْمَعُوا۟ وَأَطِيعُوا۟ وَأَنفِقُوا۟ خَيْرًا لِّأَنفُسِكُمْ ۗ وَمَن يُوقَ شُحَّ نَفْسِهِۦ فَأُو۟لَـٰٓئِكَ هُمُ ٱلْمُفْلِحُونَ

Translation

So fear (the punishment of) Allaah as much as you can (by refraining from evil), listen (intently to His commands), obey (them all) and spend (in charity for His pleasure). This is best for you. Those who are protected (by Allaah) from the miserliness (and accompanying greed) of their souls are indeed the successful ones (because they are free to be charitable).

Tafsir (excerpt) — Tafsir Usmani

A great reward for success in the trial: that is, fearing Allah, remain steadfast in this test as far as you can, and listen to His word and obey. that is, spending in the path of Allah will be for your own good. that is, only that person attains his goal whom Almighty Allah saves from the greed of his own heart and protects from avarice and miserliness.
