Al-Mujadila 58:13

Word by word

ءَأَشْفَقْتُمْ أَن تُقَدِّمُوا۟ بَيْنَ يَدَىْ نَجْوَىٰكُمْ صَدَقَـٰتٍ ۚ فَإِذْ لَمْ تَفْعَلُوا۟ وَتَابَ ٱللَّهُ عَلَيْكُمْ فَأَقِيمُوا۟ ٱلصَّلَوٰةَ وَءَاتُوا۟ ٱلزَّكَوٰةَ وَأَطِيعُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُۥ ۚ وَٱللَّهُ خَبِيرٌۢ بِمَا تَعْمَلُونَ

Have you feared to present before your consultation charities? Then when you do not and Allāh has forgiven you, then [at least] establish prayer and give zakāh and obey Allāh and His Messenger. And Allāh is Aware of what you do.

أخشيتم الفقر إذا قدَّمتم صدقة قبل مناجاتكم رسول الله؟ فإذْ لم تفعلوا ما أُمرتم به، وتاب الله عليكم، ورخَّص لكم في ألا تفعلوه، فاثبتوا وداوموا على إقام الصلاة وإيتاء الزكاة وطاعة الله ورسوله في كل ما أُمرتم به، والله سبحانه خبير بأعمالكم، ومجازيكم عليها.
