Verse (4:36)

The analysis above refers to the 36th verse of chapter 4 (sūrat l-nisāa):

Sahih International: Worship Allah and associate nothing with Him, and to parents do good, and to relatives, orphans, the needy, the near neighbor, the neighbor farther away, the companion at your side, the traveler, and those whom your right hands possess. Indeed, Allah does not like those who are self-deluding and boastful.
