And urges not the feeding of Al-Miskin.

This is as Allah says,

كَلَّ بَل لاَّ تُكْرِمُونَ الْيَتِيمَ

وَلَا تَحَاضُّونَ عَلَى طَعَامِ الْمِسْكِينِ

Nay! But you treat not the orphans with kindness and generosity!

And urge not one another on the feeding of Al-Miskin! (89;17-18)

meaning, the poor man who has nothing to sustain him and suffice his needs.

Then Allah says,

فَوَيْلٌ لِّلْمُصَلِّينَ
