2:260

ﱁAnd whenﱂsaidﱃIbrahimﱄMy Lordﱅshow meﱆhowﱇYou give lifeﱈﱉ(to) the deadﱊHe saidﱋHave notﱌﱍyou believedﱎHe saidﱏYesﱐ[and] butﱑto satisfyﱒﱓmy heartﱔHe saidﱕThen takeﱖfourﱗofﱘthe birdsﱙand incline themﱚtowards youﱛthenﱜputﱝonﱞeachﱟhillﱠof themﱡa portionﱢthenﱣcall themﱤthey will come to youﱥﱦ(in) hasteﱧAnd knowﱨthatﱩAllahﱪ(is) All-MightyﱫAll-Wiseﱬ(260)

And ˹remember˺ when Abraham said, “My Lord! Show me how you give life to the dead.” Allah responded, “Do you not believe?” Abraham replied, “Yes I do, but just so my heart can be reassured.” Allah said, “Then bring four birds, train them to come to you, ˹then cut them into pieces,˺ and scatter them on different hilltops. Then call them back, they will fly to you in haste. And ˹so you will˺ know that Allah is Almighty, All-Wise.”

2:261

ﱭExampleﱮ(of) those whoﱯspendﱰtheir wealthﱱinﱲ(the) wayﱳ(of) Allahﱴ(is) likeﱵa grainﱶwhich growsﱷsevenﱸearsﱹinﱺeachﱻearﱼhundredﱽﱾgrain(s)ﱿAnd Allahﲀgives manifoldﲁto whomﲂﲃHe willsﲄAnd Allahﲅ(is) All-EncompassingﲆAll-Knowingﲇ(261)

The example of those who spend their wealth in the cause of Allah is that of a grain that sprouts into seven ears, each bearing one hundred grains. And Allah multiplies ˹the reward even more˺ to whoever He wills. For Allah is All-Bountiful, All-Knowing.

2:262

ﲈThose whoﲉspendﲊtheir wealthﲋinﲌ(the) wayﲍ(of) Allahﲎthenﲏnotﲐthey followﲑwhatﲒthey spendﲓ(with) reminders of generosityﲔand notﲕhurt ﲖfor themﲗtheir rewardﲘ(is) withﲙtheir Lordﲚand (there will be) noﲛfearﲜon themﲝand notﲞtheyﲟwill grieveﲠ(262)

Those who spend their wealth in the cause of Allah and do not follow their charity with reminders of their generosity or hurtful words—they will get their reward from their Lord, and there will be no fear for them, nor will they grieve.

2:263

ﲡ ﲢA wordﲣkindﲤand (seeking) forgivenessﲥ(are) betterﲦthanﲧa charityﲨfollowed [it]ﲩﲪ(by) hurtﲫAnd Allahﲬ(is) All-SufficientﲭAll-Forbearingﲮ(263)

Kind words and forgiveness are better than charity followed by injury. And Allah is Self-Sufficient, Most Forbearing.

2:264

ﲯO youﲰwhoﲱbelieve[d]ﲲ(Do) notﲳrender in vainﲴyour charitiesﲵwith reminders (of it)ﲶor [the] hurtﲷlike the one whoﲸspendsﲹhis wealthﲺ(to) be seenﲻ(by) the peopleﲼand (does) notﲽbelieveﲾin Allahﲿand the Dayﳀﳁ[the] LastﳂThen his exampleﳃ(is) likeﳄ(that of a) smooth rockﳅupon itﳆ(is) dustﳇthen fell on itﳈheavy rainﳉthen left itﳊﳋbareﳌNotﳍthey have controlﳎonﳏanythingﳐof whatﳑﳒthey (have) earnedﳓAnd Allahﳔ(does) notﳕguideﳖthe peopleﳗ[the] disbelievingﳘ(264)

O believers! Do not waste your charity with reminders ˹of your generosity˺ or hurtful words, like those who donate their wealth just to show off and do not believe in Allah or the Last Day. Their example is that of a hard barren rock covered with a thin layer of soil hit by a strong rain—leaving it just a bare stone. Such people are unable to preserve the reward of their charity. Allah does not guide ˹such˺ disbelieving people.
