And in their wealth was a rightful share for those who asked and those who were deprived [12].

The Right of the Beggar and the Deprived in Wealth:

This does not refer solely to the wealth of zakat, because zakat had not even been made obligatory at that time. Furthermore, it is clearly stated in Tirmidhi: "Indeed, there is a right in wealth other than zakat," meaning that there is a right in wealth besides zakat, and this right includes both those who ask and those who do not ask. That is, righteous people themselves seek out those who are in need—widows, the sick or disabled who cannot earn, or those with many dependents who hesitate to ask. And whatever they give to them, they give considering it their right. They do not give it as charity or alms in expectation of thanks or reward, nor do they later remind them of their favor. Just as repaying a loan is a right and a necessary matter, and after repaying a loan, no one boasts that they have done a favor by repaying it, in the same way, there is a right of the beggar and the deprived in the wealth of the rich. If he does not fulfill it, the burden will remain upon him.
