17:25-30

"Your Lord knows best what is in yourselves. If you are virtuous, He is ever Forgiving to those who always turn to Him.

And give to the kinsman his due, and to the destitute and the wayfarer, and do not be a wasteful squanderer.

For the wasteful are the Devil's brothers; and the Devil is ever ungrateful to his Lord.

But if you turn away from them [the needy], waiting for your Lord's mercy that you are expecting, then [at least] speak to them a kind word.

Do not tie your hand to your neck [being being miserly] nor stretch it without any restraint [by being extravagant] for then you will remain reproached and denuded.

Your Lord liberally provides whom He will, and withholds [from whom He will]. He is ever Aware, Seeing of His servants."
