2:271

Salaam all,

This is 2:271
إِن تُبْدُواْ الصَّدَقَاتِ فَنِعِمَّا هِيَ وَإِن تُخْفُوهَا وَتُؤْتُوهَا الْفُقَرَاء فَهُوَ خَيْرٌ لُّكُمْ وَيُكَفِّرُ عَنكُم مِّن سَيِّئَاتِكُمْ وَاللّهُ بِمَا تَعْمَلُونَ خَبِيرٌ
In tubdoo alssadaqati faniAAimma hiya wain tukhfooha watutooha alfuqaraa fahuwa khayrun lakum wayukaffiru AAankum min sayyiatikum waAllahu bima taAAmaloona khabeerun

The Aya says:
If you (plural) make exposed the charities, then softness/accepted it is. And if you make it hidden and make it come to the poor, then that is better for you. And HE makes buried from you, of your sins. And Allah, in what you do, well informed.

My personal note:
YUKAFFIR AAaNKUM SAYYIATIKUM means make buried for you, your sins. What it means is that when the sin is buried then that is a sign that it is gone and forgiven.

The Aya informs us that it is better to give to charity in relative secrecy rather than making it exposed.
