quran:2:263 –

Kind speech and forgiveness are better than charity followed by injury. And Allah is Free of need and Forbearing.  

Honourable words, kind talk and a generous reply to the beggar, and forgiveness, towards him for his persistence, are better than a voluntary almsgiving followed by injury, through reproach and deriding him for his begging; and God is Independent, of the voluntary almsgiving of His servants, Forbearing, in His delaying the punishment of the reproachful and injurious one.
القرآن:٢:٢٦٣ –

قَوْلٌ مَعْرُوفٌ وَمَغْفِرَةٌ خَيْرٌ مِنْ صَدَقَةٍ يَتْبَعُهَا أَذًى ۗ وَاللَّهُ غَنِيٌّ حَلِيمٌ  

{قول معروف} كلام حسن ورد على السائل جميل {ومغفرة} له في إلحاحه {خير من صدقة يتبعها أذًى} بالمن وتعيير له بالسؤال {والله غني} عن صدقة العباد {حليم} بتأخير العقوبة عن المانّ والمؤذي.
