2594 - أَخْبَرَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ، قَالَ: أَنْبَأَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ آدَمَ، عَنْ سُفْيَانَ بْنِ عُيَيْنَةَ، عَنْ دَاوُدَ بْنِ شَابُورَ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ شُعَيْبٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ جَدِّهِ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «مَنْ سَأَلَ وَلَهُ أَرْبَعُونَ دِرْهَمًا، فَهُوَ الْمُلْحِفُ»

Commentary
The objective of this similitude is the impermissibility, which means for him, begging is not lawful. In this narration, forty Dirhams have been shown to be the limit of self-sufficiency; while in Hadîth 2593, fifty Dirhams have been mentioned. For the reconciliation between these two, see Hadîth 2593.
