لِلْفُقَرَآءِ For the poor lil'fuqarāi those who alladhīna are wrapped up uḥ'ṣirū in fī (the) way sabīli (of) Allah l-lahi not lā they are able yastaṭīʿūna (to) move about ḍarban in fī the earth l-arḍi Think (about) them yaḥsabuhumu the ignorant one l-jāhilu (that they are) self-sufficient aghniyāa (because) of mina (their) restraint l-taʿafufi you recognize them taʿrifuhum by their mark bisīmāhum Not lā (do) they ask yasalūna the people l-nāsa with importunity il'ḥāfan And whatever wamā you spend tunfiqū of min good khayrin then indeed fa-inna Allah l-laha of it bihi (is) All-Knower ʿalīmun
[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.
