64:17
فَٱتَّقُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ مَا ٱسْتَطَعْتُمْ وَٱسْمَعُوا۟ وَأَطِيعُوا۟ وَأَنفِقُوا۟ خَيْرًا لِّأَنفُسِكُمْ ۗ وَمَن يُوقَ شُحَّ نَفْسِهِۦ فَأُو۟لَٰٓئِكَ هُمُ ٱلْمُفْلِحُونَ
English - Hazrat Molavi Sher Ali ra
So fear Allah as best you can, and listen, and obey, and spend in His cause; it will be good for yourselves. And whoso is rid of the covetousness of his own soul — it is such who shall be successful.

So fear Allah as best you can, and listen, and obey, and spend in His cause; it will be good for yourselves. [b]And whoso is rid of the covetousness of his own soul—it is they who shall be successful.[4266]
59:10.
Commentary:
In the preceding verse believers were told that their wealth and their children would put their mettle to test, whether they would help in promoting the cause of Truth or would prove an impediment or hindrance. In the verse under comment they are told that they should obey all the commandments of the Shari‘ah, particularly they should not be hesitant when they are called upon to make monetary sacrifice for the advancement of a good cause. Only that way lies success and prosperity.
English - Short Commentary Translation
So be mindful of your duty to Allah as best you can, and listen and obey, and spend in His cause, it will be good for yourselves. [a]And whoso is rid of the covetousness of his own soul—it is they who shall succeed.
