[Consider] those who, before them, had homes and had adopted the faith. [They] love those who came to them for refuge. [They] have no desire in their hearts for things given to (the refugees). Instead, they give them preference over themselves, even though they were in poverty. Those saved from the desires of their own souls are the ones who achieve success.
And those who were settled in that city (Medina) and adopted the faith before them (the emigrants) love those who migrate to them. They harbor no desire or need in their hearts for what has been given (to the emigrants). Even if they are needy themselves, they give them (the emigrants) preference over themselves. Those who protect themselves from their own stinginess and ambitions, they are the truly successful ones.

Next are those who emigrated and settled earlier, justifying Faith as a conviction operative on their character and will, who love to see and welcome their successors and afford them refuge with clean breasts not begrudging their aid, abnegating themselves of what they themselves may need in favour of the others. And he who opposes the incitement arising from the state of mind and feeling and guards himself against an unjust act, impiety, iniquity, greed, niggardliness, immorality and such vices, shall heaven prosper him and such persons
And those who were settled in houses (in Madina) and (in) belief, before the (migrants from Mecca), they love those who migrated towards them and do not find in their hearts any need of that which is given to the (migrants) and prefer them over themselves even if they are in need, and one who is saved from the selfishness of his soul, then those are the persons who are successful.
