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

ضَرۡبٗا

ٱلۡأَرۡضِ
يَحۡسَبُهُمُ
ٱلۡجَاهِلُ
أَغۡنِيَآءَ
مِنَ
ٱلتَّعَفُّفِ
تَعۡرِفُهُم
بِسِيمَٰهُمۡ
لَا
يَسۡـَٔلُونَ
ٱلنَّاسَ
إِلۡحَافٗاۗ
وَمَا
تُنفِقُواْ
مِنۡ
خَيۡرٖ
فَإِنَّ
ٱللَّهَ
بِهِۦ
عَلِيمٌ

˹Charity is˺ for the needy who are too engaged in the cause of Allah to move about in the land ˹for work˺. Those unfamiliar with their situation will think they are not in need ˹of charity˺ because they do not beg. You can recognize them by their appearance. They do not beg people persistently. Whatever you give in charity is certainly well known to Allah.
