Ijow 30:25 Halacha: Kitzur Shulchan Arukh

אִם־לֹ֣א בָ֭כִיתִי לִקְשֵׁה־י֑וֹם עָֽגְמָ֥ה נַ֝פְשִׁ֗י לָאֶבְיֽוֹן׃

Habe ich nicht um den Bedrängten geweint? War nicht mein Herz betrübt um den Elenden?

Kitzur Shulchan Arukh

Whoever gives charity to a poor person with an angry countenance, even if he gives a thousand gold pieces, he has forfeited his merit [reward], and he violates the prohibition: "Your heart shall not be sorry [when you give him charity]."19Deuteronomy 15:10. But rather you must give to him with a smiling countenance and with joy, and commiserate with his suffering, as Job said: "Did I not cry for the troubled, was my soul not grieved for the needy."20Job 30:25. And speak to him words of comfort as it is said: "And the heart of the widow, I caused to sing for joy."21Job 29:13.
