• كما قال تعالى ﴿الَّذِينَ هُمْ يُرَاؤُونَ وَيَمْنَعُونَ الْمَاعُونَ﴾

  يُرَاءُونَ — show off. This present-tense verb carries a built-in plural 'they' subject and is in the pattern of showing oneself to others, 'they make a show'. The mutual-style pattern carries the sense of acting for others to see, the meaning of showing off.
