English translation

[2394] 102 - (...) It was narrated from Abû Hurairah that the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ said: "The poor person is not the one who may be sent away with a date or two, or a mouthful or two. Rather the poor person is the one who refrains from asking. Recite if you wish: ...They do not beg of people at all...."[1]

Arabic text

102 - (1039) حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ أَيُّوبَ، وَقُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، قَالَ ابْنُ أَيُّوبَ: حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ وَهُوَ ابْنُ جَعْفَرٍ، أَخْبَرَنِي شَرِيكٌ، عَنْ عَطَاءِ بْنِ يَسَارٍ، مَوْلَى مَيْمُونَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، قَالَ: «لَيْسَ الْمِسْكِينُ بِالَّذِي تَرُدُّهُ التَّمْرَةُ وَالتَّمْرَتَانِ، وَلَا اللُّقْمَةُ وَاللُّقْمَتَانِ، إِنَّمَا الْمِسْكِينُ الْمُتَعَفِّفُ»، اقْرَءُوا إِنْ شِئْتُمْ: {لَا يَسْأَلُونَ النَّاسَ إِلْحَافًا} [البقرة: 273]
