2:270 Whatever charity you give or vow[1] you make, Allah surely knows it. But the wrongdoers have no helpers.
2:271 If you give charity publicly, it is good; but if you give it secretly to the poor, it is better for you[1], and He will expiate some of your sins. And Allah is All-Aware of what you do.
2:272 You are not responsible for their guidance [O Prophet], but Allah guides whom He wills. Whatever wealth you spend in charity, it is for your own good – as long as you do so seeking Allah’s Face [i.e., His pleasure]. And whatever wealth you spend in charity, you will be rewarded in full, and you will not be wronged.
2:273 [Charity is] for the poor who are fully occupied in the cause of Allah, unable to move about in the land [for livelihood]; the one who is unaware would think that they are rich because of their self-restraint. You will recognize them by their appearance. They do not ask people importunately. And whatever wealth you give, then Allah is All-Knowing of it.
2:274 Those who spend their wealth in charity, day and night, in secret and in public; they will have their reward with their Lord, and they will have no fear, nor will they grieve.
