Which is in greater need, the poor person or the needy person?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original

The Shaykh : Which is in greater need, the poor person or the needy person?

The questioner : The poor person is in greater need than the needy person because he does not find what suffices him, being less than half.

The Shaykh : Yes, and because Allah the Exalted began with him in the verse. Well done.
