All-Embracing, All-Knowing.

S: The parable of those who spend their property in the way of Allah is
as the parable of a grain growing seven ears (with) a hundred grains in
every ear; and Allah multiplies for whom He pleases; and Allah is
Ample-giving, Knowing.

Y: Those who spend their substance in the cause of Allah, and follow not
up their gifts with reminders of their generosity or with injury,-for
them their reward is with their Lord: on them shall be no fear, nor
