The Holy Quran 9:79 — Surah At-Tawbah

Arabic text

ٱلَّذِينَ يَلْمِزُونَ ٱلْمُطَّوِّعِينَ مِنَ ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ فِى ٱلصَّدَقَـٰتِ وَٱلَّذِينَ لَا يَجِدُونَ إِلَّا جُهْدَهُمْ فَيَسْخَرُونَ مِنْهُمْ ۙ سَخِرَ ٱللَّهُ مِنْهُمْ وَلَهُمْ عَذَابٌ أَلِيمٌ

Translation

Allaah shall mock (punish the mockery of) those (Munaafiqeen) who mock the Mu'mineen because of their charity when they spend of their own will and (who mock) those who find only their efforts (to spend, referring to those who offer their labour in the path of Allaah). For them will be a painful punishment.

Tafsir (excerpt) — Tafsir Usmani
