38. Behold, ye are those invited to spend (of your substance) in the Way of Allah. But

among you are some that are niggardly. But any who are niggardly are so at the expense

of their own souls. But Allah is free of all wants, and it is ye that are needy. If ye turn

back (from the Path), He will substitute in your stead another people; then they would not

be like you!
