Surah Al-Hadid — Ayah 24 (57:24)
ٱلَّذِينَ يَبۡخَلُونَ وَيَأۡمُرُونَ ٱلنَّاسَ بِٱلۡبُخۡلِۗ وَمَن يَتَوَلَّ فَإِنَّ ٱللَّهَ هُوَ ٱلۡغَنِيُّ ٱلۡحَمِيدُ ٢٤
English translation (Saheeh International)
[Those] who are stingy and enjoin upon people stinginess. And whoever turns away1 - then indeed, Allāh is the Free of need, the Praiseworthy.
- - Refusing to spend for Allāh's cause or refusing obedience to Him.
Brief commentary
Those who are miserly in spending whatever is obligatory on them to spend and instruct others to be miserly, are losers. Whoever turns away from the obedience of Allah will never harm Allah; he only harms himself. Indeed, Allah is the Self-sufficient; He is in no need of the obedience of His servants, and He is praiseworthy in every state.
