Transliteration:( Innaamaa nut'imukum li wajhil laahi laa nureedu minkum jazaaa'anw wa laa shukooraa )
15. On the basis of this, some cautious people do not ask the beggars to offer dua after giving them charity, thinking it may become a form of expressing gratitude. Some scholars and spiritual guides, too, do not seek any worldly rewards from their students and disciples saying that knowledge is spiritual nourishment and its charity too should be for gaining the pleasure of Allah Almighty alone. But the students and the disciples must express gratitude and render service. The reward of good is good.
The tafsir of Surah Al-Insan verse 9 by Ibn Kathir is unavailable here.
Please refer to Surah Insan ayat 4 which provides the complete commentary from verse 4 through 12.
(76:9) (saying):[13] “We feed you only for Allah’s sake; we do not seek of you any recompense or thanks,[14]
13. Although feeding a poor man is in itself a great virtue, yet fulfilling the other needs of an indigent person is no less virtuous. For example, to clothe a poor man, to arrange treatment for a sick person, or to help a debtor who is harassed by his creditor, is an act of equally great virtue. Here, a particular kind of virtue in view of its importance has been presented only as an example, but the real object is to stress giving help to the needy.
14. It is not necessary that this may be said in so many words while feeding the poor man. It may be said in the heart; in the sight of Allah this is as meritorious as saying it with the tongue. But saying these words with the tongue hasbeen particularly mentioned so as to set the person being helped at ease that no thanks or recompense is due from him, so that he eats with full satisfaction and peace of mind.
