قُلْ إِنَّ رَبِّى يَبْسُطُ ٱلرِّزْقَ لِمَن يَشَآءُ مِنْ عِبَادِهِۦ وَيَقْدِرُ لَهُۥ ۚ وَمَآ أَنفَقْتُم مِّن شَىْءٍۢ فَهُوَ يُخْلِفُهُۥ ۖ وَهُوَ خَيْرُ ٱلرَّٰزِقِينَ

سُورَةُ سَبَإٍ
English — Sahih International
Say, "Indeed, my Lord extends provision for whom He wills of His servants and restricts [it] for him. But whatever thing you spend [in His cause] - He will compensate it; and He is the best of providers."
اردو — مودودی
اے نبیؐ، ان سے کہو، "میرا رب اپنے بندوں میں سے جسے چاہتا ہے کھلا رزق دیتا ہے اور جسے چاہتا ہے نپا تلا دیتا ہے جو کچھ تم خرچ کر دیتے ہو اُس کی جگہ وہی تم کو اور دیتا ہے، وہ سب رازقوں سے بہتر رازق ہے
Bahasa Indonesia — Kemenag
Katakanlah: "Sesungguhnya Tuhanku melapangkan rezeki bagi siapa yang dikehendaki-Nya di antara hamba-hamba-Nya dan menyempitkan bagi (siapa yang dikehendaki-Nya)". Dan barang apa saja yang kamu nafkahkan, maka Allah akan menggantinya dan Dialah Pemberi rezeki yang sebaik-baiknya.
Ibn Kathir
انظُرْ كَيْفَ فَضَّلْنَا بَعْضَهُمْ عَلَى بَعْضٍ وَلَلاٌّخِرَةُ أَكْبَرُ دَرَجَـتٍ وَأَكْبَرُ تَفْضِيلاً
(See how We favor one above another, and verily, the Hereafter will be greater in degrees and greater in favor.) (17:21). This means that just as there are differences between them in this world -- where one may be poor and in straitened circumstances while another is rich and enjoys a life of plenty -- so they will be in the Hereafter. There one will reside in apartments in the highest levels of Paradise, whilst another will be in the lowest levels of Hell. As the Prophet said, describing the best of people in this world:
«قَدْ أَفْلَحَ مَنْ أَسْلَمَ وَرُزِقَ كَفَافًا وَقَنَّعَهُ اللهُ بِمَا آتَاه»
(He truly succeeds who becomes Muslim and is given just enough provision and Allah makes him content with what He has given.)" It was recorded by Muslim.
وَمَآ أَنفَقْتُمْ مِّن شَىْءٍ فَهُوَ يُخْلِفُهُ
(39 cont. - and whatsoever you spend of anything, He will replace it.) means, `whatever you spend in the ways that He has commanded you and permitted you, He will compensate you for it in this world by giving you something else instead, and in the Hereafter by giving you reward.' It was reported that the Prophet said:
«يَقُولُ اللهُ تَعَالَى: أَنْفِقْ، أُنْفِقْ عَلَيْك»
(Allah says: "Spend, I will spend on you.") In another Hadith it is reported that every morning, two angels come, and one says, "O Allah, bring destruction upon the one who withholds (does not spend)." The other one says, "O Allah, give compensation to the one who spends." And the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said:
«أَنْفِقْ بِلَالُ، وَلَا تَخْشَ مِنْ ذِي الْعَرْشِ إِقْلَالًا»
(Spend, O Bilal, and do not fear that the One Who is on the Throne will withhold from you. )

قل -أيها الرسول- لهؤلاء المغترين بالأموال والأولاد: إن ربي يوسِّع الرزق على مَن يشاء من عباده، ويضيِّقه على مَن يشاء؛ لحكمة يعلمها، ومهما أَعْطَيتم من شيء فيما أمركم به فهو يعوضه لكم في الدنيا بالبدل، وفي الآخرة بالثواب، وهو -سبحانه- خير الرازقين، فاطلبوا الرزق منه وحده، واسعَوا في الأسباب التي أمركم بها.
