1640. Qabiṣah bin Mukhāriq Al-Hilālī narrated: "I undertook the responsibility of paying a debt for someone else, so I went to the Prophet ﷺ (asking him). He said: 'Stay with us, O Qabiṣah, until charity comes, so that we can command that some of it be given to you.' Then he said: 'O Qabiṣah! Begging is not permitted except for one of three (people): A person who undertook the responsibility of paying off a debt on behalf of another, so he may ask until he gets what he needs, then he should desist; and a person who was afflicted with a catastrophe, and whose wealth was destroyed, so it is permissible for him to ask, and he asks until he obtains his minimal needs — or he said — his bare needs; and a person who became poor, (but in this case he may not ask) until three intelligent people from his community say that so-and-so has become poor. In this case he may ask until he obtains his minimal needs, or his bare needs, then he should desist. Any begging besides this, O Qabiṣah, is evil wealth that a person consumes in sin.'" (Ṣaḥīḥ)
