And of them are some who accuse you (O Muhammad SAW) in the
matter of (the distribution of) the alms. If they are given part thereof,
they are pleased, but if they are not given thereof, behold! They are
enraged! (9:58)

Would that they were contented with what Allāh and His Messenger (SAW)
gave them and had said: "Allāh is Sufficient for us. Allāh will
give us of His Bounty, and (also) His Messenger (from alms, etc.). We
implore Allāh (to enrich us)." (9:59)

As-Sadaqāt (here it means Zakāt) are only for the Fuqarā'[]
(poor), and Al-Masākin[] (the poor)
and those employed to collect (the funds); and for to attract the hearts
of those who have been inclined (towards Islām); and to free the
captives; and for those in debt; and for Allāh's Cause (i.e. for Mujāhidūn
- those fighting in the holy wars), and for the wayfarer (a traveller
who is cut off from everything); a duty imposed by Allāh. And Allāh is
All-Knower, All-Wise. (9:60)
