In The Quran

(2:49) We guaranteed you from the people of Pharaoh; they were afflicting you (Arab. يَسُومُونَكُمْ, yasūmūnakum) (with) horrible torment, killing your children, and shaming your women. In that was a great trial from your Lord.

(2:273) As for the poor who face hardship in the cause of God, and cannot leave the land; the ignorant ones think they are rich from their abstention; you know them by their similitude (Arab. بِسِيمَاهُمْ, bisīmāhum), they do not ask the people repeatedly. What you spend out of goodness, God is fully aware of it.
