Salaam all,

This is 2:273
لِلْفُقَرَاء الَّذِينَ أُحصِرُواْ فِي سَبِيلِ اللّهِ لاَ يَسْتَطِيعُونَ ضَرْبًا فِي الأَرْضِ يَحْسَبُهُمُ الْجَاهِلُ أَغْنِيَاء مِنَ التَّعَفُّفِ تَعْرِفُهُم بِسِيمَاهُمْ لاَ يَسْأَلُونَ النَّاسَ إِلْحَافًا وَمَا تُنفِقُواْ مِنْ خَيْرٍ فَإِنَّ اللّهَ بِهِ عَلِيمٌ
Lilfuqarai allatheena ohsiroo fee sabeeli Allahi la yastateeAAoona darban fee alardi yahsabuhumu aljahilu aghniyaa mina alttaAAaffufi taAArifuhum biseemahum la yasaloona alnnasa ilhafan wama tunfiqoo min khayrin fainna Allaha bihi AAaleemun

The Aya says:
To the poor who were made limited in the path of Allah. They cannot earn in the land. The one who does not know thinks them without need from the avoidance of asking. You recognize them by their distinguisher. They do not ask the people insistently. And what you spend of good, then Allah in it, (is) knowing.

My personal note:
The Aya talks about some of the poor who are deserving of charity. They have no ability to earn in the land, but are not asking for help because they avoid doing it. Their sign is that they are not too insistent on asking. God asks us to spend of good and that HE knows it, whether we make it known to the people or not.
