Allah, the Exalted says:
يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ لَا تُبۡطِلُواْ صَدَقَٰتِكُم بِٱلۡمَنِّ وَٱلۡأَذَىٰ
“O you who believe! Do not render in vain your Sadaqah (charity) by reminders of your generosity or by injury.”
[Al-Baqarah 2:264]
ٱلَّذِينَ يُنفِقُونَ أَمۡوَٰلَهُمۡ فِي سَبِيلِ ٱللَّهِ ثُمَّ لَا يُتۡبِعُونَ مَآ أَنفَقُواْ مَنّٗا وَلَآ أَذٗى
“Those who spend their wealth in the Cause of Allah, and do not follow up their gifts with reminders of their generosity or with injury.”
[Al-Baqarah 2:262]
1588 Abu Dharr (radiyallahu anhu) said: The Prophet ﷺ observed: “There are three (types of) people to whom Allah will neither speak on the Day of Resurrection nor look at them nor purify them, and they will have a painful chastisement.” The Messenger of Allah ﷺ repeated it three times. Abu Dharr (radiyallahu anhu) remarked: “They are ruined. Who are they, O Messenger of Allah?” Upon this, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, “One who lets down his lower garments (below his ankels) out of arrogance, one who boasts of his favours done to another; and who sells his goods by taking a false oath.”[Muslim].
