* Note 002:275. The word الَّيۡلِ (Lai-lay = Night) also refers to the period of darkness that prevents others from seeing the act of charity-giving and the extent and nature of the charity as clearly as a daylight would allow. It also implies the dire circumstances temporarily around the charity-giver such as when one is property-rich but cash-poor.
The word النَّهَارِ (Na-haa-ray = Day) refers to exactly the opposite of the word الَّيۡلِ given above. The period of daylight enables an onlooker to clearly see the act of charity-giving and the extent and nature of the charity. It provides an incentive to copy and often serves as an impetus to out-perform the charity-giver’s good deed.
