Verses including the word Avarice
The Evil one threatens you with poverty and bids you to conduct unseemly.Allah promiseth you His forgiveness and bounties.And Allah careth for all and He knoweth all things. (Surah Al-Baqara, 268)
But those who before them, had homes (in Medina) and had adopted the Faith,- show their affection to such as came to them for refuge, and entertain no desire in their hearts for things given to the (latter), but give them preference over themselves, even though poverty was their (own lot). And those saved from the covetousness of their own souls,- they are the ones that achieve prosperity. (Surah Al-Hashr, 9)
So fear Allah as much as ye can; listen and obey and spend in charity for the benefit of your own soul and those saved from the covetousness of their own souls,- they are the ones that achieve prosperity. (Surah At-Taghabun, 16)
