Tafsir

Scholarly commentary explaining a verse — its context, its meaning and how the scholars have understood it.

At-Tawbah 9:121

Word by word

وَلَا يُنفِقُونَ نَفَقَةً صَغِيرَةً وَلَا كَبِيرَةً وَلَا يَقْطَعُونَ وَادِيًا إِلَّا كُتِبَ لَهُمْ لِيَجْزِيَهُمُ ٱللَّهُ أَحْسَنَ مَا كَانُوا۟ يَعْمَلُونَ

Nor do they spend an expenditure, small or large, or cross a valley but that it is registered for them that Allāh may reward them for the best of what they were doing.

ولا ينفقون نفقة صغيرة ولا كبيرة في سبيل الله، ولا يقطعون واديًا في سيرهم مع رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم في جهاده، إلا كُتِب لهم أجر عملهم; ليجزيهم الله أحسن ما يُجْزَون به على أعمالهم الصالحة.
