Behold! Abraham said: "My Lord! Show me how Thou givest life to the dead." He said: "Dost thou not then believe?" He said: "Yea! but to satisfy My own understanding." He said: "Take four birds; Tame them to turn to thee; put a portion of them on every hill and call to them: They will come to thee (Flying) with speed. Then know that Allah is Exalted in Power, Wise." ﴾260﴿
The parable of those who spend their substance in the way of Allah is that of a grain of corn: it groweth seven ears, and each ear Hath a hundred grains. Allah giveth manifold increase to whom He pleaseth: And Allah careth for all and He knoweth all things. ﴾261﴿
Those who spend their substance in the cause of Allah, and follow not up their gifts with reminders of their generosity or with injury,-for them their reward is with their Lord: on them shall be no fear, nor shall they grieve. ﴾262﴿
Kind words and the covering of faults are better than charity followed by injury. Allah is free of all wants, and He is Most-Forbearing. ﴾263﴿
O ye who believe! cancel not your charity by reminders of your generosity or by injury,- like those who spend their substance to be seen of men, but believe neither in Allah nor in the Last Day. They are in parable like a hard, barren rock, on which is a little soil: on it falls heavy rain, which leaves it (Just) a bare stone. They will be able to do nothing with aught they have earned. And Allah guideth not those who reject faith. ﴾264﴿
وَاِذْ قَالَ اِبْرٰه۪يمُ رَبِّ اَرِن۪ي كَيْفَ تُحْيِ الْمَوْتٰىۜ قَالَ اَوَلَمْ تُؤْمِنْۜ قَالَ بَلٰى وَلٰكِنْ لِيَطْمَئِنَّ قَلْب۪يۜ قَالَ فَخُذْ اَرْبَعَةً مِنَ الطَّيْرِ فَصُرْهُنَّ اِلَيْكَ ثُمَّ اجْعَلْ عَلٰى كُلِّ جَبَلٍ مِنْهُنَّ جُزْءًا ثُمَّ ادْعُهُنَّ يَأْت۪ينَكَ سَعْيًاۜ وَاعْلَمْ اَنَّ اللّٰهَ عَز۪يزٌ حَك۪يمٌ۟ ﴿٢٦٠﴾
مَثَلُ الَّذ۪ينَ يُنْفِقُونَ اَمْوَالَهُمْ ف۪ي سَب۪يلِ اللّٰهِ كَمَثَلِ حَبَّةٍ اَنْبَتَتْ سَبْعَ سَنَابِلَ ف۪ي كُلِّ سُنْبُلَةٍ مِائَةُ حَبَّةٍۜ وَاللّٰهُ يُضَاعِفُ لِمَنْ يَشَٓاءُۜ وَاللّٰهُ وَاسِعٌ عَل۪يمٌ ﴿٢٦١﴾
اَلَّذ۪ينَ يُنْفِقُونَ اَمْوَالَهُمْ ف۪ي سَب۪يلِ اللّٰهِ ثُمَّ لَا يُتْبِعُونَ مَٓا اَنْفَقُوا مَنًّا وَلَٓا اَذًۙى لَهُمْ اَجْرُهُمْ عِنْدَ رَبِّهِمْۚ وَلَا خَوْفٌ عَلَيْهِمْ وَلَا هُمْ يَحْزَنُونَ ﴿٢٦٢﴾
قَوْلٌ مَعْرُوفٌ وَمَغْفِرَةٌ خَيْرٌ مِنْ صَدَقَةٍ يَتْبَعُهَٓا اَذًىۜ وَاللّٰهُ غَنِيٌّ حَل۪يمٌ ﴿٢٦٣﴾
يَٓا اَيُّهَا الَّذ۪ينَ اٰمَنُوا لَا تُبْطِلُوا صَدَقَاتِكُمْ بِالْمَنِّ وَالْاَذٰىۙ كَالَّذ۪ي يُنْفِقُ مَالَهُ رِئَٓاءَ النَّاسِ وَلَا يُؤْمِنُ بِاللّٰهِ وَالْيَوْمِ الْاٰخِرِۜ فَمَثَلُهُ كَمَثَلِ صَفْوَانٍ عَلَيْهِ تُرَابٌ فَاَصَابَهُ وَابِلٌ فَتَرَكَهُ صَلْدًاۜ لَا يَقْدِرُونَ عَلٰى شَيْءٍ مِمَّا كَسَبُواۜ وَاللّٰهُ لَا يَهْدِي الْقَوْمَ الْكَافِر۪ينَ ﴿٢٦٤﴾
