AL LAIL (MALAM) — Ayat 18

Tafsir

{He who gives his wealth to purify himself} purifying himself with it before God Almighty by giving it to God Almighty, not showing off or seeking fame, so he will be pure before God. This was revealed about Abu Bakr, may God be pleased with him, when he bought Bilal, who was being tortured for his faith, and freed him. The infidels said: He only did that because of a favor he had with him, so it was revealed.
