Hadith #402
Arabic Text
وَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَيْسَ الْمِسْكِينُ هَذَا الطَّوَافَ الَّذِي يَطُوفُ عَلَى النَّاسِ تَرُدُّهُ اللُّقْمَةُ وَاللُّقْمَتَانِ وَالتَّمْرَةُ وَالتَّمْرَتَانِ إِنَّمَا الْمِسْكِينُ الَّذِي لَا يَجِدُ غِنًى يُغْنِيهِ وَيَسْتَحِي أَنْ يَسْأَلَ النَّاسَ وَلَا يُفْطَنُ لَهُ فَيُتَصَدَّقَ عَلَيْهِ
English Translation
the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'The truly poor person is not the one who goes around begging from people and is turned away with a morsel or two and a date or two. Rather, the truly poor person is the one who does not have enough to make him self-sufficient, yet his condition is not known so that charity might be given to him, and he does not stand up to beg from people.'
