قال الله تعالى: {يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا لَا تُبْطِلُوا صَدَقَاتِكُم بِالْمَنِّ وَالْأَذَىٰ} (البقرة: ٢٦٤)

Allah Most High says, {O ye who believe! Cancel not your charity by reminders of your generosity or by injury.} (AI-Baqarah: 264)

قال الواحدي: "هو الذي يمنّ بصدقته على المتصدَّق عليه". وقال الكلبي: "هو الذي يعدّ صدقته منّة على الله، ويؤذي من تصدّق عليه". وقال رسول الله ﷺ: "ثلاثةٌ لا يكلّمهم الله يوم القيامة، ولا ينظر إليهم، ولا يزكّيهم، ولهم عذابٌ أليم: المسبِلُ إزارَه، والمنّان بما أعطى، والمنفِّقُ سلعتَه بالحلف الكاذب". وقال ﷺ: "ثلاثةٌ لا يدخلون الجنة: العاقُّ لوالديه، والمدمنُ على الخمر، والمنّانُ بما أعطى". [1]

AI- W ahdi commented on this verse by saying, "It is the one who reminds the recipients of his charity." AI-Kalbi said, "It is the one who counts his charity as a favor upon Allah and injures the recipients of it." The Messenger of Allah (pbuh) declared, "There is one people whom Allah will not speak to, look at, or exonerate on the Day of Judgment, and they will have a painful torment. they are the one who wears the hem of his garment low (out of pride), he who reminds recipients of his charity to them, and he who sells merchandise swearing that he paid more for it than he actually did. " He (pbuh) also said, "Three men will never enter Paradise. Those disobedient to their parents, the drunkards and the one who used to remind the recipients of his charity with his grace.” 1

لا يدخل الجنة خبٌّ ولا بخيلٌ ولا منّانٌ2

Another narration to this Hadith states, "Paradise is not the abode for the fraud, the niggard and the person who reminds the recipients of his charity.”2

وعلاوةً على ذلك، قال رسول الله ﷺ: «إياكم أن تمُنّوا بصدقاتكم، فإنّ المنّ يُبطل الأجر والثواب». ثم تلا رسول الله ﷺ: {يا أيها الذين آمنوا لا تُبطِلوا صدقاتكم بالمنِّ والأذى} (البقرة: 264).

Furthermore, The Messenger of Allah (pbuh) said, "Beware of reminding others by your grace for it would nullify the recompense and reward: The Messenger (pbuh) then recited. {O ye who believe! Cancel not your charity by reminders of your generosity or by injury.} (AI-Baqarah: 264)

روي أن ابن سيرين سمع رجلاً يذكّر آخر بمعروفه إليه، فقال: «الصمت أفضل، فلا خير في المعروف إذا عُدّ».

Once Ibn Sireen heard a man reminding another man of his grace to him so he said, "It is better to keep silent for there is no good in beneficence when it is counted.

وكان بعض الحكماء يقولون: «من ذكّر الناس بإحسانه، فلا أجر له عليه. ومن أُعجب بعمله، فلا ثواب له فيه».

Some wise men used to say, "Whoever reminds others with his beneficence, will have no compensation for it. Moreover, who is admired by his deed will have no reward for it."
