Feeding the needy
خُذُوهُ فَغُلُّوهُ ٣٠ ثُمَّ ٱلْجَحِيمَ صَلُّوهُ ٣١ ثُمَّ فِى سِلْسِلَةٍۢ ذَرْعُهَا سَبْعُونَ ذِرَاعًۭا فَٱسْلُكُوهُ ٣٢ إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ لَا يُؤْمِنُ بِٱللَّهِ ٱلْعَظِيمِ ٣٣ وَلَا يَحُضُّ عَلَىٰ طَعَامِ ٱلْمِسْكِينِ ٣٤ فَلَيْسَ لَهُ ٱلْيَوْمَ هَٰهُنَا حَمِيمٌۭ ٣٥ وَلَا طَعَامٌ إِلَّا مِنْ غِسْلِينٍۢ ٣٦ لَّا يَأْكُلُهُۥٓ إِلَّا ٱلْخَٰطِـُٔونَ ٣٧
It will be said to the keepers of Hell: Seize him and bind him, then let him enter the Blaze, then bind him in a chain seventy cubits long; for he did not believe in Allah the Most Great, and did not urge people to feed the needy. So he has no close friend there today, and no food except the discharge of the people of the Fire, which only the sinners eat.
