[And give] to the needy who, being wholly wrapped up in God's cause, are unable to go about the earth [in search of livelihood]. He who is unaware [of their condition] might think that they are wealthy because they abstain from asking; but you are unable to recognize them by their special mark: they do not ask people or intimidate them. And whatever good you may spend [on them], verily, God knows it all. (2:273)
