Maskeen, Poor, in Need
....

Do good to Poor(needy)-Command to Children of Israel
1

righteous is he who gives his wealth, for love of Him,
to kinsfolk and to orphans and the needy and the wayfarer
and to those who ask, and to set slaves free
1

for those who can afford it there is a ransom:
the feeding of a man in need-
1

Say: That which ye spend for good (must go) to
parents and near kindred and orphans and the
needy and the wayfarer. 
1

And when kinsfolk and orphans and the needy 
are present at the devision (of the heritage), 
bestow on them therefrom and speak kindly 
unto them
1

(Show) kindness unto parents, and unto near 
kindred, and orphans, and the needy, and 
into the neighbor who is of kin (unto you) 
and the neighbor who is not of kin and 
the fellow traveller and the wayfarer 
and (the slaves) whom your right hands possess.
1

The expiation thereof is the feeding of ten of
the needy with the average of that wherewith
ye feed your own folk
1

(the forfeit) to be brought as an offering to the Ka'bah;
or, for expiation, he shall feed poor persons, or the
equivalent thereof in fasting, that he may taste the
evil consequences of his deed
1

And know that whatever ye take as spoils of war,
lo! a fifth thereof is for Allah, and for the
messenger and for the kinsmen (who hath need)
and orphans and the needy and the wayfarer;
if ye believe in Allah and that which We revealed
unto Our slave on the Day of Discrimination,
the day when the two armies met.
1

The alms are only for the needy
