Al-Baqarah · Ayah 273 · Juz 3 · Page 46

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 ٢٧٣

Lil-fuqarāʾil-ladhīna uḥṣirū fī sabīlillāhi lā yastaṭīʿūna ḍarban fil-arḍi yaḥsabuhumul-jāhilu aghniyāʾa minat-taʿaffufi taʿrifuhum bisīmāhum lā yasʾalūnan-nāsa ilḥāfā, wa mā tunfiqū min khayrin fa innallāha bihī ʿalīm.

[Charity is] for the poor who have been restricted for the cause of Allāh, unable to move about in the land. An ignorant [person] would think them self-sufficient because of their restraint, but you will know them by their [characteristic] sign. They do not ask people persistently [or at all]. And whatever you spend of good - indeed, Allāh is Knowing of it.
