Sura 89
Aya 18
18
وَلا تَحاضّونَ عَلىٰ طَعامِ المِسكينِ

Yusuf Ali

Nor do ye encourage one another1 to feed the poor!—
  • Kindness and generosity set up standards which even worldly men feel bound to follow out of social considerations even if they are not moved by higher motives. But the wicked find plausible excuses for their own hardheartedness, and by their evil example choke up the springs of charity and kindness in others.
