Al-Muddaththir 74:6
The Cloaked One · Meccan · Juz 29 · Page 575
Do Not Count Your Favours
وَلَا تَمۡنُن تَسۡتَكۡثِرُ ٦
And show not favour, seeking wordly gain.
Translation: Marmaduke Pickthall
Meaning
And do not confer favour to acquire more.
Insight
Elmalılı gives two meanings: do not count your good deed as much and remind others of it, do not be vain of your deeds; or do not give something hoping to get more in return.
Reflect
Forget a kindness you did today.
