Surah 4. An-Nisaa, Ayah 38
| وَالَّذِينَ يُنْفِقُونَ أَمْوَالَهُمْ رِئَاءَ النَّاسِ وَلَا يُؤْمِنُونَ بِاللَّهِ وَلَا بِالْيَوْمِ الْآخِرِ ۗ وَمَنْ يَكُنِ الشَّيْطَانُ لَهُ قَرِينًا فَسَاءَ قَرِينًا |
| Transliteration | : | wa- 'alladhena yunfiqon amwaal -hum ri'aa' an- naas wa- laa yu'minon bi- 'allaah wa- laa bi- al- yawm al- 'aakhir wa- man yakun ash- shayt.aan la- -hu qaren(an) fa- saa'a qaren(an) |
| Pickthall | : | And (also) those who spend their wealth in order to be seen of men, and believe not in Allah nor the Last Day. Whoso taketh Satan for a comrade, a bad comrade hath he. |
| Asad | : | And [God does not love] those who spend their possessions on others [only] to be seen and praised by men, the while they believe neither in God nor in the Last Day; and he who has Satan for a soul-mate, how evil a soul-mate has he!49 |
| Malik | : | Similarly, Allah does not like those who spend their wealth to show off to the people, believing neither in Allah nor in the Last Day. In fact the one who chooses Shaitan as his companion has chosen a very evil companion! |
| Yusuf Ali | : | (Nor) those who spend of their substance to be seen of men but have no faith in Allah and the Last Day: if any take the Evil One for their intimate what a dreadful intimate he is! 557 |
Note - 557A fault opposed to niggardliness, and equally opposed to
true Charity, is to spend lavishly to be seen of men. It
is mere hypocrisy: there is no love in it, either for
Allah or for man.
