Ayah 273
Surah Al-Baqara
[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.﴿273﴾
Translation
[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.
Simplified Tafsir
اجعلوا صدقاتكم لفقراء المسلمين الذين لا يستطيعون السفر؛ طلبًا للرزق لاشتغالهم بالجهاد في سبيل الله، يظنهم مَن لا يعرفهم غير محتاجين إلى الصدقة؛ لتعففهم عن السؤال، تعرفهم بعلاماتهم وآثار الحاجة فيهم، لا يسألون الناس بالكُليَّة، وإن سألوا اضطرارًا لم يُلِحُّوا في السؤال. وما تنفقوا مِن مال في سبيل الله فلا يخفى على الله شيء منه، وسيجزي عليه أوفر الجزاء وأتمَّه يوم القيامة.
