By the night when it veils
And the day when it is displayed
And by what created male and female
Verily, your efforts are diverse
But as for him who gives alms and fears God
And believes in the best
We will send him easily to ease
But as for him who is niggardly, And longs for wealth
And calls the good a lie
We will send him easily to difficulty
And his wealth shall not avail him When he falls down (into hell)
Verily, it is for us to guide
And, verily, ours are the hereafter and the former life
And I have warned you of a fire that flames
None shall broil thereon, but the most wretched
who says it is a lie and turns his back
But the pious shall be kept away from it
he who gives his wealth in alms
and who gives no favour to any one for the sake of reward
but only craving the face of his Lord most High
in the end he shall be well pleased
