Al-Ma'un 107:1–3
The orphan and the poor
بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ
أَرَءَيْتَ ٱلَّذِى يُكَذِّبُ بِٱلدِّينِ ١ فَذَٰلِكَ ٱلَّذِى يَدُعُّ ٱلْيَتِيمَ ٢ وَلَا يَحُضُّ عَلَىٰ طَعَامِ ٱلْمِسْكِينِ ٣
The meaning, simply
Have you seen the one who denies the Day of Judgement? He is the one who pushes the orphan away harshly and keeps back his right, and does not urge others to feed the poor, so how would he feed them himself?
