12. O ye who believe! When ye consult the Messenger in private, spend something in
charity before your private consultation. That will be best for you, and most conducive to
purity (of conduct). But if ye find not (the wherewithal), Allah is Oft- Forgiving, Most
Merciful.

13. Is it that ye are afraid of spending sums in charity before your private consultation
(with him)? If, then, ye do not so, and Allah forgives you, then (at least) establish regular
prayer; practise regular charity; and obey Allah and His Messenger. And Allah is well-
acquainted with all that ye do.
