Verse (2:273)

The analysis above refers to the 273rd verse of chapter 2 (sūrat l-baqarah):

Sahih International: [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.
