SURAH AL-E-IMRAN: 91-92

TRANSLATION:


[3:91]
Those who disbelieve and die as disbelievers, even an Earth-full of gold shall never be accepted from any of them, even if one were to offer it as ransom. They are the ones for whom there is a painful punishment, and for them there are no helpers.
[3:92]
You shall never attain righteousness unless you spend from what you love. Whatsoever you spend, Allah is fully aware of it.

INTERPRETATION:

 Previously in verse 267 of Surah Al-Baqarah the command was given that don't just give your rubbish as charity, but also spend in the way of Allah from what good things you have. This verse goes even further by saying that it is not enough to give good things in the way of Allah, in fact spend from what you love, in Allah's way. That would be the real sacrifice. When this verse was revealed the Holy Companions (Sahaba) started giving their most favourite things as Sadaqah (charity). Many such incidents have been reported in the books of Tafsir (Interpretation of the Holy Quran) and Hadith (sayings of the Holy Prophet ﷺ). For details please Ma'ariful Quran (Urdu), volume 2, page 107-108.
