Traduzione dei significati Versetto 276 Sura Al-Baqarah - Traduzione inglese - Dr. Walid Bleyhesh Al-Umary - L'Enciclopedia del Nobile Corano

Versetto: 276

يَمۡحَقُ ٱللَّهُ ٱلرِّبَوٰاْ وَيُرۡبِي ٱلصَّدَقَٰتِۗ وَٱللَّهُ لَا يُحِبُّ كُلَّ كَفَّارٍ أَثِيمٍ

(276) Allah extirpates usury^[495] and fosters^[496] charities—Allah likes not every tenacious Denier, ˹wonted˺ committer of sins.

[495] One way to interpret this is that God would not bless or prosper the money gained through such an immoral transaction (cf. 30: 39). (al-Ṭabarī, Ibn Kathīr, al-Saʿdī)
[496] Yurbī (lit. to grow and cultivate translated here as foster) is semantically related to ribā (usury; originally meaning ‘increase’). It is used strategically here by way of correcting this misnomer, showing what blessed investment, which is likely to grow and flourish, really is: namely, charity (cf. 2: 245). Abū Hurayrah narrated that the Prophet (ﷺ) said: “Whoever gives in charity the equal of a date ˹of palm˺ from a good source – Allah only accepts what is good – Allah will receive it with His Right Hand. Then He will nurture it for him as much as one of you cares for his young foal, until it becomes as big as a mountain”. (al-Bukhārī: 1410) Charity is described in the Qur’an as a trade with God that will not go to ruin (cf. 35: 29).
