إِنَّ اللَّهَ سُبْحَانَهُ فَرَضَ فِي أَمْوَالِ الْأَغْنِيَاءِ أَقْوَاتَ الْفُقَرَاءِ فَمَا جَاعَ فَقِيرٌ إِلَّا بِمَا مَنَعَ غَنِيٌّ وَاللَّهُ سَائِلُهُمْ عَنْ ذَلِكَ

Verily Allah, the Glorified, has ordained the provisions of the poor in the wealth of the rich, so no poor person goes hungry but because of the withholding of the rich, and Allah will question them about this
