Tafsir
(So give to the kinsman) so give, O Muhammad, to the one related to you by blood (his due) the right of his kinship, (and to the needy) give him clothing and food, (and to the wayfarer) be hospitable to your guest for three days, and whatever you give him after three days is alms. (That) which I have mentioned of kinship, giving and hospitality (is best) is a reward and honour in the Hereafter (for those who seek Allah's Countenance) by their giving. (And such are they who are successful) those who are saved from Allah's wrath and torment.

Al-Jalalayn Commentary
And give the relative what is his due in the way of dutifulness and kindness and the needy and the wayfarer the traveller give voluntary alms — the Prophet’s community must emulate him in this respect. That is better for those who desire God’s Countenance who desire His reward in exchange for what they do; those they are the successful the winners.
