The Holy Quran 24:22 — Surah An-Nur

Arabic text

وَلَا يَأْتَلِ أُو۟لُوا۟ ٱلْفَضْلِ مِنكُمْ وَٱلسَّعَةِ أَن يُؤْتُوٓا۟ أُو۟لِى ٱلْقُرْبَىٰ وَٱلْمَسَـٰكِينَ وَٱلْمُهَـٰجِرِينَ فِى سَبِيلِ ٱللَّهِ ۖ وَلْيَعْفُوا۟ وَلْيَصْفَحُوٓا۟ ۗ أَلَا تُحِبُّونَ أَن يَغْفِرَ ٱللَّهُ لَكُمْ ۗ وَٱللَّهُ غَفُورٌ رَّحِيمٌ

Translation

(After Allaah declared the innocence of Aaisha رضي الله تعالى عنها, her father Abu Bakr رضي الله تعالى عنه and others swore never to financially assist those Muslims who were involved in promoting the slander. Referring to this, Allaah says,) The high ranking and wealthy ones among you (like Abu Bakr رضي الله تعالى عنه) should not take an oath not to spend on their relatives, the poor and on those who migrate in Allaah's path. (Instead of bearing a grudge against these people,) They should forgive and pardon. Do you not like Allaah to forgive you? (Just as you would like Allaah to forgive you for your shortcomings, you should also forgive the shortcomings of others. Be like) Allaah (Who) is Most Forgiving, Most Merciful.

Tafsir (excerpt) — التفسير الميسر

ولا يحلف أهل الفضل في الدين والسَّعَة في المال على ترك صلة أقربائهم الفقراء والمحتاجين والمهاجرين، ومنعهم النفقة؛ بسبب ذنب فعلوه، ولْيتجاوزوا عن إساءتهم، ولا يعاقبوهم. ألا تحبون أن يتجاوز الله عنكم؟ فتجاوزوا عنهم. والله غفور لعباده، رحيم بهم. وفي هذا الحثُّ على العفو والصفح، ولو قوبل بالإساءة.
