سُوْرَةُ الْاَنْعَامِ
Surah Al-An'aam (6) — Ayah 52
وَلَا تَطْرُدِ ٱلَّذِينَ يَدْعُونَ رَبَّهُم بِٱلْغَدَوٰةِ وَٱلْعَشِىِّ يُرِيدُونَ وَجْهَهُۥ ۖ مَا عَلَيْكَ مِنْ حِسَابِهِم مِّن شَىْءٍ وَمَا مِنْ حِسَابِكَ عَلَيْهِم مِّن شَىْءٍ فَتَطْرُدَهُمْ فَتَكُونَ مِنَ ٱلظَّـٰلِمِينَ ﴿52﴾
Translation by Dr. Muhammad Muhsin Khan & Dr. Taqi-ud-Din al-Hilali
And turn not away those who invoke their Lord, morning and afternoon seeking His Face. You are accountable for them in nothing, and they are accountable for you in nothing, that you may turn them away, and thus become of the Zâlimûn (unjust).

Tafsir Ahsan al-Bayan — Hafiz Salahuddin Yusuf
Tafsir Ahsan al-Bayan is a well-known Quran commentary by Hafiz Salahuddin Yusuf, a renowned Salafi (Ahl al-Hadith) scholar from Pakistan. This tafsir explains the meanings of the Quran in accordance with the methodology of the Salaf (early righteous generations), relying on authentic sources and straightforward language. Due to its reliability and adherence to sound Islamic scholarship, the Saudi government publishes and distributes this tafsir among the Hujjaj (pilgrims) visiting the Haramain. The tafsir is originally written in Urdu, translated to English by tohed.com.
52. 1. That is, these helpless and poor Muslims, who with great sincerity call upon their Lord day and night, meaning they worship Him, you (O Muhammad ﷺ) should not distance these poor ones from yourself in response to the polytheists’ taunt or demand that there is always a crowd of the poor and destitute around you—remove them so that we may also sit with you. Do not distance these poor ones from yourself, especially when you are not responsible for their sustenance, and if you do so, it would be an injustice, which does not befit you. The purpose is to teach the Ummah that to consider people without means as insignificant, or to avoid their company and not maintain attachment with them, is the act of the ignorant, not of the people of faith. The people of faith love the people of faith, even if they are poor and destitute.
