اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ وَ إِنْ تُخْفُوها وَ تُؤْتُوهَا الْفُقَراءَ فَهُوَ خَيْرٌ لَكُمْ فَقَالَ هِيَ سِوَى الزَّكَاةِ إِنَّ الزَّكَاةَ عَلَانِيَةٌ غَيْرُ سِرٍّ .
Translation
Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Ibn Abu Umeyr, from Is’haq Bin Ammar, (It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> regarding the Words of Allah<sup>azwj</sup> Mighty and Majestic <span class="ibTxt"><a href="/#/books/quran:2#h271"><a href="/books/quran:2#h271">[2:271]</a></a> If you give alms openly, it is good, and if you hide it and give it to the poor, it is better for you</span>. So he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘It is besides the <span class="iTxt">Zakāt</span>. The (giving) of <span class="iTxt">Zakāt</span> is publicly, without being secretive’.
