"And what cause have ye why ye should not spend in the cause of Allah?- For to Allah belongs the heritage of the heavens and the earth. Not equal among you are those who spent [freely] and fought, before the Victory, [with those who did so later]. Those are higher in rank than those who spent [freely] and fought afterwards. But to all has Allah promised a goodly [reward]. And Allah is well acquainted with all that ye do."— Yusuf Ali translation
