2600. It was narrated that Samurah bin Jundab said: “The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ said: ‘Every time a man begs, it will turn into lacerations on his face (on the Day of Resurrection). So whoever wants his face to be lacerated (let him ask), and whoever does not want that (let him not ask); except in the case of a man who asks a Sulṭān, or he asks when he can find no alternative.” (Ṣaḥīḥ)
2599 - أَخْبَرَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ، قَالَ: مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بِشْرٍ، قَالَ: أَنْبَأَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ، عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ عُقْبَةَ، عَنْ سَمُرَةَ بْنِ جُنْدُبٍ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «إِنَّ الْمَسَائِلَ كُدُوحٌ، يَكْدَحُ بِهَا الرَّجُلُ وَجْهَهُ، فَمَنْ شَاءَ كَدَحَ وَجْهَهُ، وَمَنْ شَاءَ تَرَكَ، إِلَّا أَنْ يَسْأَلَ الرَّجُلُ ذَا سُلْطَانٍ، أَوْ شَيْئًا لَا يَجِدُ مِنْهُ بُدًّا»

1. "Lacerations on his face" means it is disgrace or degradation in the world, and in the Hereafter his face would in reality be scraped. 2. "Whoever wants..." that – this is not permission, it is rather a means of warning. 3. "No alternative": For instance, a hungry man may ask or beg for food, and an ill person may solicit cooperation of others for treatment.
