وَٱلَّذِينَ يُنفِقُونَ أَمْوَٰلَهُمْ رِئَآءَ ٱلنَّاسِ وَلَا يُؤْمِنُونَ بِٱللَّهِ وَلَا بِٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلْـَٔاخِرِ ۗ وَمَن يَكُنِ ٱلشَّيْطَـٰنُ لَهُۥ قَرِينًا فَسَآءَ قَرِينًا

And [also] those who spend of their wealth to be seen by the people and believe not in Allāh nor in the Last Day. And he to whom Satan is a companion - then evil is he as a companion.

இன்னும், எவர்கள் மற்ற மனிதர்களுக்குக் காட்டுவதற்காகத் தங்கள் பொருட்களைச் செலவு செய்வதுடன், அல்லாஹ்வையும் இறுதி நாளையும் நம்பாதிருக்கின்றனரோ (அவர்களுக்கு ஷைத்தான் கூட்டாளியாவான்). எவனுக்கு ஷைத்தான் கூட்டாளியாக இருக்கின்றானோ, அவன் கூட்டாளிகளிலெல்லாம் மிகத் தீயவன் (என்பதை அறியவேண்டாமா?)

තවද, ජනයාට ප්‍රදර්ශනය කිරීම පිණිස තම ධනය වියදම් කර අල්ලාහ් හා අවසන් දිනය විශ්වාස නො කරන ඔවුන් (ෂයිතාන්වරුන්ගේ මිතුරන් ය) ෂයිතාන් කවරකුගේ මිතුරෙකු වන්නේ ද ඔහු මිතුරෙකු වශයෙන් නපුරු විය.
UrduMaulana Muhammad Junagarhi
اور جو لوگ اپنا مال لوگوں کے دکھاوے کے لئے خرچ کرتے ہیں اور اللہ تعالیٰ پر اور قیامت کے دن پر ایمان نہیں رکھتے اور جس کا ہم نشین اور ساتھی شیطان ہو ، وه بدترین ساتھی ہے۔
JapaneseRyoichi Mita
かれらは人びとに見せびらかすために,その財産を施し,アッラーも,最後の(審判の)日をも信じない。誰にしろ悪魔を仲間とする者は,何と忌まわしい仲間をもったことよ。

他们中有为沽名而施舍财产的,他们不信真主,也不信末日。谁以恶魔为伴侣,谁的伴侣真恶劣!

Tafsir of 4:38

The Censure of Stingy Behavior Allah chastises the stingy behavior of those who refuse to spend their money for what Allah ordered them, such as being kind to parents and compassionate to relatives, orphans, the poor, the relative who is also a neighbor, the companion during travel, the needy wayfarer, the slaves and servants. Such people do not give Allah's right from their wealth, and they assist in the spread of stingy behavior. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, «وَأَيُّ دَاءٍ أَدْوَأُ مِنَ الْبُخْل» (What disease is more serious than being stingy) He also said, «إِيَّاكُمْ وَالشُّحَّ، فَإِنَّهُ أَهْلَكَ مَنْ كَانَ قَبْلَكُمْ، أَمَرَهُمْ بِالْقَطِيْعَةِ فَقَطَعُوا، وَأَمَرَهُمْ بِالْفُجُورِ فَفَجَرُوا» (Beware of being stingy, for it destroyed those who were before you, as it encouraged them to cut their relations and they did, and it encouraged them to commit sin and they did.) Allah said, وَيَكْتُمُونَ مَآ ءَاتَهُمُ اللَّهُ مِن فَضْلِهِ (and hide what Allah has bestowed upon them of His bounties,) Therefore, the miser is ungrateful for Allah's favor, for its effect does not appear on him, whether in his food, clothes or what he gives.…
