وَلاَ يَحْسَبَنَّ الَّذِينَ يَبْخَلُونَ بِمَا آتَاهُمُ اللَّهُ مِنْ فَضْلِه ِِ هُوَ خَيْرا ً لَهُمْ بَلْ هُوَ شَرّ ٌ لَهُمْ سَيُطَوَّقُونَ مَا بَخِلُوا بِه ِِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ وَلِلَّهِ مِيرَاثُ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالأَرْضِ وَاللَّهُ بِمَا تَعْمَلُونَ خَبِير ٌ
Wa Lā Yaĥsabanna Al-Ladhīna Yabkhalūna Bimā 'Ātāhumu Allāhu Min FaĐlihi Huwa Khayrāan Lahum Bal Huwa Sharrun Lahum Sayuţawwaqūna Mā Bakhilū Bihi Yawma Al-Qiyāmati Wa Lillahi Mīrāthu As-Samāwāti Wa Al-'ArĐi Wa Allāhu Bimā Ta`malūna Khabīrun
And let not those who are stingy with what God has given them of His bounty think that it is good for them, no, it is evil for them. They will be surrounded by what they were stingy with on the Day of Resurrection. And to God will be the inheritance of the heavens and the earth; and God is Expert over what you do.
9:76
فَلَمَّا آتَاهُمْ مِنْ فَضْلِه ِِ بَخِلُوا بِه ِِ وَتَوَلَّوا وَهُمْ مُعْرِضُونَ
Falammā 'Ātāhum Min FaĐlihi Bakhilū Bihi Wa Tawallaw Wa Hum Mu`riĐūna
So when He gave them from His bounty, they became stingy with it, and they turned away while they were averse.
92:8
وَأَمَّا مَنْ بَخِلَ وَاسْتَغْنَى
Wa 'Ammā Man Bakhila Wa Astaghná
And as for he who is stingy and holds back.

الَّذِينَ يَبْخَلُونَ وَيَأْمُرُونَ النَّاسَ بِالْبُخْلِ وَيَكْتُمُونَ مَا آتَاهُمُ اللَّهُ مِنْ فَضْلِه ِِ وَأَعْتَدْنَا لِلْكَافِرِينَ عَذَابا ً مُهِينا ً

Those who are stingy and order the people to stinginess, and they conceal what God has given them from His bounty. And We have prepared for the rejecters a humiliating retribution.

إِنْ يَسْأَلْكُمُوهَا فَيُحْفِكُمْ تَبْخَلُوا وَيُخْرِجْ أَضْغَانَكُمْ
'In Yas'alkumūhā Fayuĥfikum Tabkhalū Wa Yukhrij 'AĐghānakum
If He were to ask you for it, to the extent of creating a hardship for you, you would become stingy, and your hidden evil will be exposed.
47:38
هَاأَنْتُمْ هَاؤُلاَء تُدْعَوْنَ لِتُنفِقُوا فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ فَمِنْكُمْ مَنْ يَبْخَلُ وَمَنْ يَبْخَلْ فَإِنَّمَا يَبْخَلُ عَنْ نَفْسِه ِِ وَاللَّهُ الْغَنِيُّ وَأَنْتُمُ الْفُقَرَاءُ وَإِنْ تَتَوَلَّوْا يَسْتَبْدِلْ قَوْماً غَيْرَكُمْ ثُمَّ لاَ يَكُونُوا أَمْثَالَكُمْ

Here you are being invited to spend in the cause of God, but some among you turn stingy. And whoever is stingy is only being stingy on himself. And God is the Rich, while you are the poor. And if you turn away, He will substitute another people instead of you, then they will not be like you.

الَّذِينَ يَبْخَلُونَ وَيَأْمُرُونَ النَّاسَ بِالْبُخْلِ وَمَنْ يَتَوَلَّ فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ هُوَ الْغَنِيُّ الْحَمِيدُ
