Al-Isra 17:26

Word by word

وَءَاتِ ذَا ٱلْقُرْبَىٰ حَقَّهُۥ وَٱلْمِسْكِينَ وَٱبْنَ ٱلسَّبِيلِ وَلَا تُبَذِّرْ تَبْذِيرًا

And give the relative his right, and [also] the poor and the traveler, and do not spend wastefully.

وأحسِنْ إلى كل مَن له صلة قرابة بك، وأعطه حقه من الإحسان والبر، وأعط المسكين الذي لا يملك ما يكفيه ويسد حاجته، والمسافر المنقطع عن أهله وماله، ولا تنفق مالك في غير طاعة الله، أو على وجه الإسراف والتبذير.
