The analysis above refers to the 265th verse of chapter 2 (sūrat l-baqarah):

Sahih International: And the example of those who spend their wealth seeking means to the approval of Allah and assuring [reward for] themselves is like a garden on high ground which is hit by a downpour - so it yields its fruits in double.
