The example of those who spend their wealth in the way of Allah is like a seed ˹of grain˺ which grows seven spikes; in each spike is a hundred grains. And Allah multiplies ˹His reward˺ for whom He wills. And Allah is all-Encompassing and Knowing.
مَثَلُ الَّذِينَ يُنْفِقُونَ أَمْوَالَهُمْ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ كَمَثَلِ حَبَّةٍ أَنْبَتَتْ سَبْعَ سَنَابِلَ فِي كُلِّ سُنْبُلَةٍ مِائَةُ حَبَّةٍ ۗ وَاللَّهُ يُضَاعِفُ لِمَنْ يَشَاءُ ۗ وَاللَّهُ وَاسِعٌ عَلِيمٌ
[Machine] When the verse was revealed: "The example of those who spend their wealth in the way of Allah is like a seed [of grain] which grows seven spikes; in each spike is a hundred grains. And Allah multiplies [His reward] for whom He wills. And Allah is all-Encompassing and Knowing." The Messenger of Allah said, "O Lord, increase the wealth of my Ummah." Then the verse was revealed: "Who is it that would loan Allah a goodly loan so He may multiply it for him many times over?" The Messenger of Allah said, "O Lord, increase the wealth of my Ummah." Then the verse was revealed: "Indeed, the patient will be given their reward without account."
لَمَّا نَزَلَتْ {مِثْلُ الَّذِينَ يُنْفِقُونَ أَمْوَالَهُمْ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ كَمَثَلِ حَبَّةٍ أَنْبَتَتْ سَبْعَ سَنَابِلَ فِي كُلِّ سُنْبُلَةٍ مِائَةُ حَبَّةٍ وَاللَّهُ يُضَاعَفُ لِمَنْ يَشَاءُ وَاللَّهُ وَاسِعٌ عَلِيمٌ} قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «رَبِّ زِدْ أُمَّتِي» فَنَزَلَتْ {مَنْ ذَا الَّذِي يُقْرِضُ اللَّهَ قَرْضًا حَسَنًا فَيُضَاعِفَهُ لَهُ أَضْعَافًا كَثِيرَةً} قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «رَبِّ زِدْ أُمَّتِي» فَنَزَلَتْ {إِنَّمَا يُوَفَّى الصَّابِرُونَ أَجْرَهُمْ بِغَيْرِ حِسَابٍ}
