Tafsir of 2:263
To Remind About Charity Given is Forbidden Allah praises those who spend from their money in His cause, and then refrain from reminding those who received the charity of that fact, whether these hints take the form of words or actions. Allah's statement, وَلاَ أَذًى (or with injury), indicates that they do not cause harm to those whom they gave the charity to, for this harm will only annul the charity. Allah next promised them the best rewards for this good deed, لَهُمْ أَجْرُهُمْ عِندَ رَبِّهِمْ (their reward is with their Lord), indicating that Allah Himself will reward them for these righteous actions. Further, وَلاَ خَوْفٌ عَلَيْهِمْ (On them shall be no fear) regarding the horrors of the Day of Resurrection, وَلاَ هُمْ يَحْزَنُونَ (nor shall they grieve) regarding the offspring that they leave behind and the adornment and delights of this world. They will not feel sorry for this, because they will acquire what is far better for them.…
