أَوْ مِسْكِينًا ذَا مَتْرَبَةٍ
Aw miskeenan tha matraba tin
or of a needy [stranger] lying in the dust -
  - Mohammad Asad
or to a needy in distress;
  - Muhammad Farooq-i-Azam Malik
or to a poor person in distress;
  - Mustafa Khattab
Or some poor wretch in misery,
  - Marmaduke Pickthall
Or to the indigent (down) in the dust. 6143
  - Abdullah Yusuf Ali

Persons down in the dust can only be helped from motives of pure charity, because nothing can be expected of them-neither praise nor advertisement nor any other advantage to the helper. Such help is help indeed. But there may be various degrees, and the help will be suited to the needs.
