it to the poor, it will be better for you, and will atone for some of
your ill-deeds. Allah is Informed of what ye do.

Y: It is not required of thee (O Messenger), to set them on the right
path, but Allah sets on the right path whom He pleaseth. Whatever of
good ye give benefits your own souls, and ye shall only do so seeking
the "Face" of Allah. Whatever good ye give, shall be rendered back to
you, and ye shall not Be dealt with unjustly.

whom He will. And whatsoever good thing ye spend, it is for yourselves,

good thing ye spend, it will be repaid to you in full, and ye will not
be wronged.

guides aright whom He pleases; and whatever good thing you spend, it is
to your own good; and you do not spend but to seek Allah's pleasure;
and whatever good things you spend shall be paid back to you in full,
and you shall not be wronged.
