EnglishSaheeh International
If you disclose your charitable expenditures, they are good; but if you conceal them and give them to the poor, it is better for you, and He will remove from you some of your misdeeds [thereby]. And Allāh, of what you do, is [fully] Aware.

தான தர்மங்களை நீங்கள் வெளிப்டையாகச் செய்தால் அதுவும் நல்; லதே (ஏனெனில் அவ்வாறு செய்யப் பிறரையும் அது தூண்டும்;) எனினும் அவற்றை மறைத்து ஏழையெளியோர்க்கு அவை கிடைக்கும்படிச் செய்தால் அது உங்களுக்க இன்னும் நல்லது. அது உங்களுடைய பாவங்களையும் நீக்கும்; நீங்கள் செய்வதை(யெல்லாம்) அல்லாஹ் நன்கறிந்தவனாகவே இருக்கின்றான்.

නුඹලා සදකාවන් හෙළි කරන්නේ නම් එවිට එය යහපත් ය. තවද නුඹලා එය සඟවා දිළින්ඳන් හට පිරිනමන්නේ නම් එවිට එය ද නුඹලාට උතුම් ය. එය නුඹලාගේ පාපයන් නුඹලාගෙන් පහ කරවයි. තවද අල්ලාහ් නුඹලා සිදු කරන දෑ පිළිබඳව අභිඥානවන්ත ය.

اگر تم صدقے خیرات کو ﻇاہر کرو تو وه بھی اچھا ہے اور اگر تم اسے پوشیده پوشیده مسکینوں کو دے دو تو یہ تمہارے حق میں بہتر ہے ، اللہ تعالیٰ تمہارے گناہوں کو مٹا دے گا اور اللہ تعالیٰ تمہارے تمام اعمال کی خبر رکھنے واﻻ ہے،

あなたがたは施しを,あらわにしても結構だが,人目を避けて貧者に与えれば更によい。それはあなたがたの罪悪(の汚)の一部を,払い清めるであろう。アッラーはあなたがたの行うことを熟知されておられる。

如果你们公开地施舍,这是很好的;如果你们秘密地施济贫民,这对於你们是更好的。这能消除你们的一部分罪恶。真主是彻知你们的行为的。

Tafsir of 2:271

Allah states that He has perfect knowledge of the good deeds performed by all of His creation, such as charity and various vows, and He rewards tremendously for these deeds, provided they are performed seeking His Face and His promise. Allah also warns those who do not work in his obedience, but instead disobey His command, reject His revelation and worship others besides Him: وَمَا لِلظَّلِمِينَ مِنْ أَنصَارٍ (And for the wrongdoers there are no helpers.) meaning, who will save them from Allah's anger and torment on the Day of Resurrection. The Virtue of Disclosing or Concealing Charity Allah said, إِن تُبْدُواْ الصَّدَقَتِ فَنِعِمَّا هِىَ (If you disclose your Sadaqat, it is well) meaning, "It is well if you make known the charity that you give away." Allah's statement, وَإِن تُخْفُوهَا وَتُؤْتُوهَا الْفُقَرَآءَ فَهُوَ خَيْرٌ لَّكُمْ (But if you conceal them and give them to the poor, that is better for you.) this indicates that concealing charity is better than disclosing it, because it protects one from showing off and boasting.…
