Surah Al-Baqarah

لِلْفُقَرَآءِ ٱلَّذِينَ أُحْصِرُوا۟ فِى سَبِيلِ ٱللَّهِ لَا يَسْتَطِيعُونَ ضَرْبًا فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ يَحْسَبُهُمُ ٱلْجَاهِلُ أَغْنِيَآءَ مِنَ ٱلتَّعَفُّفِ تَعْرِفُهُم بِسِيمَـٰهُمْ لَا يَسْـَٔلُونَ ٱلنَّاسَ إِلْحَافًا ۗ وَمَا تُنفِقُوا۟ مِنْ خَيْرٍ فَإِنَّ ٱللَّهَ بِهِۦ عَلِيمٌ

Lil-fuqarā'il-lażīna uḥṣirū fī sabīlillāhi lā yastaṭī‘ūna ḍarban fil-arḍi yaḥsabuhumul-jāhilu agniyā'a minat-ta‘affuf(i), ta‘rifuhum bisīmāhum, lā yas'alūnan-nāsa ilḥāfā(n), wa mā tunfiqū min khairin fa innallāha bihī ‘alīm(un).

[Charity is] for the poor who have been restricted for the cause of Allah, 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, Allah is Knowing of it.
