Quran verses about Harm and hurt

الأذى

39 verses in 15 surahs · 10 subtopics

No one is harmed except by Allah’s permission, and none but He can remove affliction: these verses recall this while forbidding harm to others. They speak of Allah’s support for those persecuted in His cause, the suffering of the messengers at the hands of the disbelievers, physical ailment as a legal excuse, and the hurt caused when giving charity, which voids its reward.

Al-Baqarah2:262

ٱلَّذِينَ يُنفِقُونَ أَمْوَٰلَهُمْ فِى سَبِيلِ ٱللَّهِ ثُمَّ لَا يُتْبِعُونَ مَآ أَنفَقُوا۟ مَنًّا وَلَآ أَذًى لَّهُمْ أَجْرُهُمْ عِندَ رَبِّهِمْ وَلَا خَوْفٌ عَلَيْهِمْ وَلَا هُمْ يَحْزَنُونَ ۝٢٦٢

Those who spend their wealth in the way of Allāh and then do not follow up what they have spent with reminders [of it] or [other] injury will have their reward with their Lord, and there will be no fear concerning them, nor will they grieve.

Al-Baqarah2:263

قَوْلٌ مَّعْرُوفٌ وَمَغْفِرَةٌ خَيْرٌ مِّن صَدَقَةٍ يَتْبَعُهَآ أَذًى وَٱللَّهُ غَنِىٌّ حَلِيمٌ ۝٢٦٣

Kind speech and forgiveness are better than charity followed by injury. And Allāh is Free of need and Forbearing.
