The Holy Quran 17:26 — Surah Al-Isra

Arabic text

وَءَاتِ ذَا ٱلْقُرْبَىٰ حَقَّهُۥ وَٱلْمِسْكِينَ وَٱبْنَ ٱلسَّبِيلِ وَلَا تُبَذِّرْ تَبْذِيرًا

Translation

Give the relative his right (maintain good relations with relatives), as well as (give their rights to) the poor and the traveller (assist them in their need). And do not be extravagant (do not spend in avenues that are wasteful).

Tafsir (excerpt) — Tafsir Usmani

The rights of relatives and other people: that is, fulfil all kinds of rights of relatives, both financial and moral. Look after the needy and the traveller, and do not squander the wealth Allah has given you uselessly and inappropriately.
