The real object is not to point out only these two evils that the people drive away the orphans and do not urge giving away the food of the poor as a result of the denial of the Hereafter. But of the countless evils which are thus produced, two evils have been presented as an example, which every noble and sound-natured person will regard as hateful. Besides, another thing meant to be impressed is that if this very man had believed that he would have to go before God to render an account of his deeds, he would not have committed such evils as to deprive the orphan of his rights, tyrannize him, repulse him, neither feed the poor man himself nor urge others to give him his food. The characteristics of the believers in the Hereafter which have been described in Surah Al-Asr and Surah Al-Balad are that they exhort one another to mercy, and they exhort one another to the truth and to render the rights of others. ### Abdel Khalek Himmat — Al- Muntakhab And discourages aid to the indigent faint soul past corporal toil, ### Bijan Moeinian These hypocrites are those who do not take any step to feed a hungry person. ### Al-Hilali & Khan And urges not on the feeding of Al-Miskîn (the poor),[1] ### Abdullah Yusuf Ali And encourages not the feeding of the indigent. ### Mustafa Khattab — The Clear Quran and does not encourage the feeding of the poor. ### Taqi Usmani and does not persuade (others) to feed the needy. ### Abdul Haleem and does not urge others to feed the needy. ### Arthur John Arberry and urges not the feeding of the needy. ### E.
