- Di antara orang-orang Arab Badwi itu ada orang yang beriman kepada Allah dan hari kemudian, dan memandang apa yang dinafkahkannya (di jalan Allah) itu, sebagai jalan untuk mendekatkannya kepada Allah dan sebagai jalan untuk memperoleh doa Rasul. Ketahuilah, sesungguhnya nafkah itu adalah suatu jalan bagi mereka untuk mendekatkan diri (kepada Allah). Kelak Allah akan memasukan mereka kedalam rahmat (surga)Nya; Sesungguhnya Allah Maha Pengampun lagi Maha Penyayang.
