Accordingly, they interpret the sentence to mean: "In spite of the food’s being agreeable and tasty and that they need it, they give it away to others." Ibn Abbas and Mujahid say: They do so because of their fondness for feeding the poor (ala hubb-il-it am); and Fudail bin Iyad and Abu Suleman ad-Darani say: They do so out of love for Allah. In our opinion the sentence in the next Ayat “We feed you only for the sake of Allah” supports the last meaning. - [2] The custom in the ancient days was that the prisoners were put in fetters and shackles and taken out daily to go about the streets begging food. Later the Islamic government abolished this custom. In this verse, the captive implies every such person who is in bondage, whether he is an unbeliever, a Muslim, a war prisoner, or imprisoned in consequence of a crime, and whether he is provided food in that state, or made to beg for it. In any case, to feed a helpless person who cannot do anything to earn a living is an act of great virtue. ### Abdel Khalek Himmat — Al- Muntakhab For the love of Allah, they fed the indigent, the orphan and the captive, (believers or unbelievers), in spite of their attachment to the object they offer, thereby setting a good example and an excellent guide. ### Bijan Moeinian The true believers are those who prefer to stay hungry and give their food to the needy, the orphan and the captive. ### Al-Hilali & Khan And they give food, inspite of their love for it (or for the love of Him), to the Miskîn[1] (the poor), the orphan, and the captive ### Abdullah Yusuf Ali And they feed, for the love of Allah, the indigent, the orphan, and the captive,- ### Mustafa Khattab — The Clear Quran and give food—despite their desire for it—to the poor, the orphan, and the captive, ### Taqi Usmani and they give food, out of their love for Him (Allah), to the needy, and the orphan, and the captive, ### Abdul Haleem they give food to the poor, the orphan, and the captive, though they love it themselves, ### Arthur John Arberry they give food, for the love of Him, to the needy, the orphan, the captive: ### E.
