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

(Charity is) for those In need, who, in God's cause Are restricted (from travel), And cannot move about In the land, seeking (For trade or work): The ignorant man thinks, Because of their modesty, That they are free from want. Thou shalt know them By their (unfailing) mark: They beg not importunately From all and sundry. And whatever of good Ye give, be assured God knoweth it well.
