مَّن ذَا ٱلَّذِي يُقۡرِضُ ٱللَّهَ قَرۡضًا حَسَنٗا فَيُضَٰعِفَهُۥ لَهُۥٓ أَضۡعَافٗا كَثِيرَةٗۚ وَٱللَّهُ يَقۡبِضُ وَيَبۡصُۜطُ وَإِلَيۡهِ تُرۡجَعُونَ

Who is it that will lend to Allah a goodly loan[1], so He will multiply it for him manifold? It is Allah Who withholds and gives in abundance, and to Him you will be returned.
Notes
[1] i.e., spending in the cause of Allah in expectation of nothing but His reward. Al-Hasan al-Basrī reports that when the Jews of Madinah heard this verse, encouraging believers to spend in the way of Allah, they said: “If He asks people to spend in His way, then He must be poor!” [al-Tabarī, Ibn Kathīr, al-Qurtubī]
