"And if you turn away from them (relatives, poor people, travellers) because you are waiting for a blessing from your Lord, then speak to them politely."(Surah Bani Isra'il:28)

An exceptional moral training has been given here in this verse through the Holy Prophet ﷺ to the entire Muslim community. They are being taught that that if a needy person asks you for financial help but you don' have anything to give them and have to excuse yourself, then even this act of turning down their request should not be done with an insulting attitude but rather should be done with an expression of one's inability and constraint.

From Ma'ariful Quran, Interpretation of Surah Bani Isra'il, by Mufti Muhammad Shafi RE
