Believe, adhere to belief, in Allahu ta’ālā and His Messenger (rasūl), and expend, in the way of Allahu ta’ālā, out of that of which He has made you successors, out of the wealth of those mentioned [whom you have succeeded], for you will be succeeded in this [wealth] by those who will come after you: this was revealed at the time of the 'hardship' campaign, the campaign of Tabūk.¹ For those of you who believe and expend - an allusion to 'Uthmān [b. 'Affān], may Allahu ta’ālā be pleased with him - will have a great reward.
