مَّآ What mā (was) restored afāa (by) Allah l-lahu to ʿalā His Messenger rasūlihi from min (the) people ahli (of) the towns l-qurā (it is) for Allah falillahi and His Messenger walilrrasūli and for those walidhī (of) the kindred l-qur'bā and the orphans wal-yatāmā and the needy wal-masākīni and wa-ib'ni the wayfarer l-sabīli that kay not lā it becomes yakūna a (perpetual) circulation dūlatan between bayna the rich l-aghniyāi among you minkum And whatever wamā gives you ātākumu the Messenger l-rasūlu take it fakhudhūhu and whatever wamā he forbids you nahākum from it ʿanhu refrain fa-intahū And fear wa-ittaqū Allah l-laha Indeed inna Allah l-laha (is) severe shadīdu (in) penalty l-ʿiqābi
And what Allāh restored to His Messenger from the people of the towns - it is for Allāh and for the Messenger and for [his] near relatives1 and orphans and the needy and the [stranded] traveler2 - so that it will not be a perpetual distribution among the rich from among you. And whatever the Messenger has given you - take; and what he has forbidden you - refrain from. And fear Allāh; indeed, Allāh is severe in penalty.
