Al-Ma'arij 70:22–25
Except those who pray
إِلَّا ٱلْمُصَلِّينَ ٢٢ ٱلَّذِينَ هُمْ عَلَىٰ صَلَاتِهِمْ دَآئِمُونَ ٢٣ وَٱلَّذِينَ فِىٓ أَمْوَٰلِهِمْ حَقٌّۭ مَّعْلُومٌۭ ٢٤ لِّلسَّآئِلِ وَٱلْمَحْرُومِ ٢٥
The meaning, simply
Except those who pray, who keep up their prayer always, and those in whose wealth there is a known share for the poor who ask and for the deprived who do not ask.
