وَمِنْهُمْ مَنْ يَلْمِزُكَ فِي الصَّدَقَاتِ فَإِنْ أُعْطُوا مِنْهَا رَضُوا وَإِنْ لَمْ يُعْطَوْا مِنْهَا إِذَا هُمْ يَسْخَطُونَ
Wa Minhum Man Yalmizuka Fī Aş-Şadaqāti Fa'in 'U`ţū Minhā RaĐū Wa 'In Lam Yu`ţaw Minhā 'Idhā Hum Yaskhaţūna
And from them are those who criticize you regarding the charities. If they are given from it, they are content; and if they are not given from it, they become enraged!
9:79
الَّذِينَ يَلْمِزُونَ الْمُطَّوِّعِينَ مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ فِي الصَّدَقَاتِ وَالَّذِينَ لاَ يَجِدُونَ إِلاَّ جُهْدَهُمْ فَيَسْخَرُونَ مِنْهُمْ سَخِرَ اللَّهُ مِنْهُمْ وَلَهُمْ عَذَابٌ أَلِيم ٌ
Al-Ladhīna Yalmizūna Al-Muţţawwi`īna Mina Al-Mu'uminīna Fī Aş-Şadaqāti Wa Al-Ladhīna Lā Yajidūna 'Illā Juhdahum Fayaskharūna Minhum Sakhira Allāhu Minhum Wa Lahum `Adhābun 'Alīmun
Those who criticize the volunteers among the believers in charities; that they only have their efforts to give; so they mock them. God mocks them, and they will have a painful retribution.
49:11
يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا لاَ يَسْخَرْ قَوم ٌ مِنْ قَوْمٍ عَسَى أَنْ يَكُونُوا خَيْرا ً مِنْهُمْ وَلاَ نِسَاء ٌ مِنْ نِسَاءٍ عَسَى أَنْ يَكُنَّ خَيْرا ً مِنْهُنَّ وَلاَ تَلْمِزُوا أَنفُسَكُمْ وَلاَ تَنَابَزُوا بِالأَلْقَابِ بِئْسَ الاِسْمُ الْفُسُوقُ بَعْدَ الإِيمَانِ وَمَنْ لَمْ يَتُبْ فَأُوْلَائِكَ هُمُ الظَّالِمُونَ
Yā 'Ayyuhā Al-Ladhīna 'Āmanū Lā Yaskhar Qawmun Min Qawmin `Asá 'An Yakūnū Khayrāan Minhum Wa Lā Nisā'un Min Nisā'in `Asá 'An Yakunna Khayrāan Minhunna Wa Lā Talmizū 'Anfusakum Wa Lā Tanābazū Bil-'Alqābi Bi'sa Al-Aismu Al-Fusūqu Ba`da Al-'Īmāni Wa Man Lam Yatub Fa'ūlā'ika Humu Až-žālimūna
O you who believe, let not any people ridicule other people, for they may be better than they. Nor shall any women ridicule other women, for they may be better than they. Nor shall you mock one another, or call each other names; miserable indeed is the name of wickedness after attaining faith. And anyone who does not repent, then these are the transgressors.
