The sin of the charity given by the one who puts obligation is greater than its reward. 23ـ وِزْرُ صَدَقَةِ المَنّانِ يَغْلِبُ أجْرَهُ. One who puts [others under] obligation does no good to others. 24ـ لاصَنيعَةَ لِلْمُمْتَنِّ. There is no good deed with obligation. 25ـ لامَعْرُوفَ مَعَ مَنّ. There is no pleasure in the good turn of the obliger. 26ـ لالَذَّةَ لِصَنيعَةِ مَنّان. There is no evil quality more repulsive than [putting others under] obligation. 27ـ لاسَوْأَةَ أقْبَحُ مِنَ المَنِّ.

people of goodness and beneficence, do not put [others under] obligation with your favours for indeed favours and good turns are nullified by the repulsiveness of [putting others under] obligations. 28ـ يا أهْلَ المَعْرُوفِ والإحْسانِ لاتَمُنُّوا بِإحْسانِكُمْ، فَإنَّ الإحْسانَ وَالمَعْرُوفَ يُبْطِلُهُ قُبْحُ الاِمْتِنانِ. Beware of putting obligations with your good acts for indeed [putting others under] obligation spoils favours.
