Al-Baqarah
لِلۡفُقَرَآءِ ٱلَّذِينَ أُحۡصِرُواْ فِي سَبِيلِ ٱللَّهِ لَا يَسۡتَطِيعُونَ ضَرۡبٗا فِي ٱلۡأَرۡضِ يَحۡسَبُهُمُ ٱلۡجَاهِلُ أَغۡنِيَآءَ مِنَ ٱلتَّعَفُّفِ تَعۡرِفُهُم بِسِيمَٰهُمۡ لَا يَسَۡٔلُونَ ٱلنَّاسَ إِلۡحَافٗاۗ وَمَا تُنفِقُواْ مِنۡ خَيۡرٖ فَإِنَّ ٱللَّهَ بِهِۦ عَلِيمٌ
273(Charity is) for the poor who have totally devoted themselves to the Cause of Allah (e.g. students, scholars) (therefore) they are re-stricted and cannot travel in land to seek Allah’s Bounty. Due to their modesty, the ignorant people con-sider them rich. You can recognize them from their faces (i.e. their faces are the index of their pover-ty). They don’t chase people to beg them . And whatever you spend of good, surely, Allah knows it well.
