270 : 2

وَمَآ أَنفَقۡتُم مِّن نَّفَقَةٍ أَوۡ نَذَرۡتُم مِّن نَّذۡرٖ فَإِنَّ ٱللَّهَ يَعۡلَمُهُۥۗ وَمَا لِلظَّٰلِمِينَ مِنۡ أَنصَارٍ

270. And whatever you spend of expenditures or make of vows, then surely
Allāh knows it. And the wrongdoers shall have no helpers.

271 : 2

إِن تُبۡدُواْ ٱلصَّدَقَٰتِ فَنِعِمَّا هِيَۖ وَإِن تُخۡفُوهَا وَتُؤۡتُوهَا ٱلۡفُقَرَآءَ فَهُوَ خَيۡرٞ لَّكُمۡۚ وَيُكَفِّرُ عَنكُم مِّن سَيِّـَٔاتِكُمۡۗ وَٱللَّهُ بِمَا تَعۡمَلُونَ خَبِيرٞ

271. If you give charity openly, it is good, but if you make it secret and give it to the poor, is better for you ^[102]; and, He [Allāh] will expiate for you of your sins. For Allāh is fully Aware of all that you do.

[102]. Charity declared is alright,
But given in secret shines more bright.
The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ said, "There are seven whom Allāh will shade with His shade on the day when there will be no shade except His: the just ruler; a young man who grows up worshipping his Lord; a man whose heart is attached to the mosque; two men who love one another for the sake of Allāh and meet and part on that basis; a man who is called by a woman of rank and beauty for adultery and says ‘I fear Allāh ’; a man who gives in charity and conceals it to such an extent that his left hand does not know what his right hand gives; and a man who remembers Allāh when he is alone, and his eyes fill up with tears.”

272 : 2

۞ لَّيۡسَ عَلَيۡكَ هُدَىٰهُمۡ وَلَٰكِنَّ ٱللَّهَ يَهۡدِي مَن يَشَآءُۗ وَمَا تُنفِقُواْ مِنۡ خَيۡرٖ فَلِأَنفُسِكُمۡۚ وَمَا تُنفِقُونَ إِلَّا ٱبۡتِغَآءَ وَجۡهِ ٱللَّهِۚ وَمَا تُنفِقُواْ مِنۡ خَيۡرٖ يُوَفَّ إِلَيۡكُمۡ وَأَنتُمۡ لَا تُظۡلَمُونَ

272. Not upon you is their (acceptance of the) guidance, but Allāh guides whomever He wills. Whatever good thing you spend (in charity) is for your own good, provided you do not spend anything but to seek Allah’s Face. Whatever good things you spend (in charity) shall be paid back to you in full, and you shall not be dealt with unjustly.

273 : 2

لِلۡفُقَرَآءِ ٱلَّذِينَ أُحۡصِرُواْ فِي سَبِيلِ ٱللَّهِ لَا يَسۡتَطِيعُونَ ضَرۡبٗا فِي ٱلۡأَرۡضِ يَحۡسَبُهُمُ ٱلۡجَاهِلُ أَغۡنِيَآءَ مِنَ ٱلتَّعَفُّفِ تَعۡرِفُهُم بِسِيمَٰهُمۡ لَا يَسۡـَٔلُونَ ٱلنَّاسَ إِلۡحَافٗاۗ وَمَا تُنفِقُواْ مِنۡ خَيۡرٖ فَإِنَّ ٱللَّهَ بِهِۦ عَلِيمٌ

273. (Charity is meant) for the poor confined for the Cause of Allāh - unable  to move about in the land; an ignorant person may think them wealthy because of [their] abstaining (from begging; but) you can recognize them by their true qualities; they do not beg of the people at all ^[103]. Whatever good thing you spend (in charity), then surely Allah is Aware of it.

[103]. Give to those bound in Allah’s way,
who cannot earn their pay. The people may think them rich, but their true worth is plain to see. They beg not.
Muhammad, God's messenger ﷺ said addressing the believers: "Who can guarantee for me that he will never ask people for something, and I will guarantee Paradise for him?"
This means that whoever commits himself not to ask people for their money or seek their help to fulfill his duties, whether much or little, he (the Prophet) will guarantee for him Paradise. That is because refraining from asking people entails reliance on Allāh, and is proof of one's strong hope and trust in Allāh, the Almighty. So this person's reward is that Allāh, the Exalted, admits him to Paradise.

274 : 2

ٱلَّذِينَ يُنفِقُونَ أَمۡوَٰلَهُم بِٱلَّيۡلِ وَٱلنَّهَارِ سِرّٗا وَعَلَانِيَةٗ فَلَهُمۡ أَجۡرُهُمۡ عِندَ رَبِّهِمۡ وَلَا خَوۡفٌ عَلَيۡهِمۡ وَلَا هُمۡ يَحۡزَنُونَ

274. Those who spend their wealth (in charity) whether by night or by day, secretly or openly, will receive their reward from their Lord Allāh. No fear shall be upon them, nor will they grieve.
