quran:76:8 –

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

And they give food, despite ˹their˺ love of it, that is to say, ˹despite their love˺ of food and their craving for it, to the needy, the poor, and the orphan, who does not have a father, and the prisoner, meaning the one who has been rightly imprisoned.
القرآن:٧٦:٨ –

وَيُطْعِمُونَ الطَّعَامَ عَلَىٰ حُبِّهِ مِسْكِينًا وَيَتِيمًا وَأَسِيرًا  

{ويطعمون الطعام على حبه} أي الطعام وشهوتهم له {مسكينا} فقيرا {ويتيما} لا أب له {وأسيرا} يعني المحبوس بحق.
