Surah Al-Baqara Verse 273 - English Translation by Mir Aneesuddin
Surah Al-Baqaraلِلۡفُقَرَآءِ ٱلَّذِينَ أُحۡصِرُواْ فِي سَبِيلِ ٱللَّهِ لَا يَسۡتَطِيعُونَ ضَرۡبٗا فِي ٱلۡأَرۡضِ يَحۡسَبُهُمُ ٱلۡجَاهِلُ أَغۡنِيَآءَ مِنَ ٱلتَّعَفُّفِ تَعۡرِفُهُم بِسِيمَٰهُمۡ لَا يَسۡـَٔلُونَ ٱلنَّاسَ إِلۡحَافٗاۗ وَمَا تُنفِقُواْ مِنۡ خَيۡرٖ فَإِنَّ ٱللَّهَ بِهِۦ عَلِيمٌ
(Charity is) for the poor who are confined in the way of God, they cannot travel in the land, the ignorant person considers them to be free of want because of (their) abstaining (from begging), you can recognise them from their marks, they do not beg from people, being troublesome by demanding frequently; and whatever you spend of good, then God is certainly the Knower of it
