Qur'an 76:8 Al-Insan

وَيُطْعِمُونَ ٱلطَّعَامَ عَلَىٰ حُبِّهِۦ مِسْكِينًۭا وَيَتِيمًۭا وَأَسِيرًا

And they give food in spite of love for it to the needy, the orphan, and the captive,

Saheeh International

What it says

Feeding is the one act the surah slows down for. ʿAla hubbihi puts the food in their hands at the moment they want it and takes it away then. The three who receive it stand at increasing distance from the giver: the poor man of the town, the child with nobody to answer for him, and the captive, who has no claim on them at all.
