“We feed you only for the countenance of Allah (SWT). We wish not from you reward or gratitude. (76:9)
It is not necessary that this may be said in so many words while feeding the poor man.
It may be said in the heart; in the sight of Allah this is as meritorious as saying it with the tongue.
But saying these words with the tongue has been particularly mentioned so as to set the person being helped at ease that no thanks or recompense is due from him, so that he eats with full satisfaction and peace of mind INSHA ALLAH.
