Read in Context

Chapter 2, Page 44, Juz 3

261. The example of those who spend in the way of Allah is just like a grain that produced seven ears, each ear having a hundred grains, and Allah multiplies (the reward) for whom He wills. Allah is All-Embracing, All-Knowing. 262. Those who spend their wealth in the way of Allah, then do not make their spending followed by boasting about favour, or with causing hurt,- they have their reward with their Lord and there is no fear for them nor shall they grieve. 263. A graceful word and forgiving is better than charity followed by causing hurt. Allah is All-Independent, Forbearing.
