Al-Baqarah 2:273 للفقراء الذين احصروا في سبيل الله لا يستطيعون ضربا في الارض يحسبهم الجاهل اغنياء من التعفف تعرفهم بسيماهم لا يسالون الناس الحافا وما تنفقوا من خير فان الله به عليم ٢٧٣
لِلۡفُقَرَآءِ
ٱلَّذِينَ
أُحۡصِرُواْ
فِي
سَبِيلِ
ٱللَّهِ
لَا
يَسۡتَطِيعُونَ
ضَرۡبٗا
فِي
ٱلۡأَرۡضِ
يَحۡسَبُهُمُ
ٱلۡجَاهِلُ
أَغۡنِيَآءَ
مِنَ
ٱلتَّعَفُّفِ
تَعۡرِفُهُم
بِسِيمَٰهُمۡ
لَا
يَسۡـَٔلُونَ
ٱلنَّاسَ
إِلۡحَافٗاۗ
وَمَا
تُنفِقُواْ
مِنۡ
خَيۡرٖ
فَإِنَّ
ٱللَّهَ
بِهِۦ
عَلِيمٌ

(Charity is) for Fuqarâ (the poor), who in Allâh’s Cause are restricted (from travel), and cannot move about in the land (for trade or work). The one who knows them not, thinks that they are rich because of their modesty. You may know them by their mark, they do not beg of people at all.1 And whatever you spend in good, surely, Allâh knows it well.
