O ye who believe! Give of the good things which ye have (honourably) earned, and of the fruits of the earth which We have produced for you, and do not even aim at getting anything which is bad, in order that out of it ye may give away something, when ye yourselves would not receive it except with closed eyes.

Hai orang-orang yang beriman, nafkahkanlah (di jalan allah) sebagian dari hasil usahamu yang baik-baik dan sebagian dari apa yang Kami keluarkan dari bumi untuk kamu. Dan janganlah kamu memilih yang buruk-buruk lalu kamu menafkahkan daripadanya, padahal kamu sendiri tidak mau mengambilnya melainkan dengan memincingkan mata terhadapnya. Dan ketahuilah, bahwa Allah Maha Kaya lagi Maha Terpuji.
