1. Wastefulness in giving alms
Negates the merit of charity.
١. المَطلُ وِالوَنمعدِ أَذىً
يُبطِلُ حَقَّ الصِدَقَه
2. And one who spends extravagantly -
His excess eliminates the virtue of spending.
٢. وَمُنفِقٍ إِسرافُهُ
يِزيلُ فَضلَ النَفَقَه
3. And one who claims knowledge without action,
How ignorant he is!
٣. وَمُدَّعي العِلمِ بِغَيرِ عَمَلٍ
ما أَحمَقَه
