Parshanut for Deuteronomy 15:8
כִּֽי־פָתֹ֧חַ תִּפְתַּ֛ח אֶת־יָדְךָ֖ ל֑וֹ וְהַעֲבֵט֙ תַּעֲבִיטֶ֔נּוּ דֵּ֚י מַחְסֹר֔וֹ אֲשֶׁ֥ר יֶחְסַ֖ר לֽוֹ׃
but thou shalt surely open thy hand unto him, and shalt surely lend him sufficient for his need in that which he wanteth.
Meshekh Chokhmah
Your hand generously to him. This is as our Sages say: We investigate someone who needs clothing [to check if he is really poor], but we do not investigate someone who needs food.
