In the first verse it is said that people who spend in the way of Allah, that is, in Hajj or in Jihad, or on the poor, on widows or orphans, or on friends, relatives or acquaintances who have fallen on hard times to help them out, can be likened to a farmer who sows a good grain of wheat in the field, from which grows a plant on which sprouts grow seven ears, and each year yields one hundred grains.
It means that when a person spends money to please Allah Ta'alah its reward (thawab) can grow up to seven hundred times, meaning if one spends one cent in the way of Allah they may earn as much reward as if they had spent seven hundred cents, though there are some conditions which need to be fulfilled which will be explained later.
It has been narrated in authentic Ahadith that thawab or reward for one good deed is returned ten-fold, and can reach up to seven hundred-fold. Sayyidna Abdullah Ibn Abbas رضی الّٰلہ عنہ has said that the reward of spending one Dirham in Jihad and Hajj is equal to spending seven hundred Dirhams. (Reported by Ibn Kathir with reference to the Musnad of Ahmad)
