Ayah 180
Surah Aal-i-Imraan
And let not those who [greedily] withhold what Allah has given them of His bounty ever think that it is better for them. Rather, it is worse for them. Their necks will be encircled by what they withheld on the Day of Resurrection. And to Allah belongs the heritage of the heavens and the earth. And Allah, with what you do, is [fully] Acquainted.﴿180﴾
Translation
And let not those who [greedily] withhold what Allah has given them of His bounty ever think that it is better for them. Rather, it is worse for them. Their necks will be encircled by what they withheld on the Day of Resurrection. And to Allah belongs the heritage of the heavens and the earth. And Allah, with what you do, is [fully] Acquainted.
Simplified Tafsir
ولا يظنن الذين يبخلون بما أنعم الله به عليهم تفضلا منه أن هذا البخل خير لهم، بل هو شرٌّ لهم؛ لأن هذا المال الذي جمعوه سيكون طوقًا من نار يوضع في أعناقهم يوم القيامة. والله سبحانه وتعالى هو مالك الملك، وهو الباقي بعد فناء جميع خلقه، وهو خبير بأعمالكم جميعها، وسيجازي كلا على قدر استحقاقه.
