Arabic Text
حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ أَخْبَرَنَا أَيُّوبُ عَنْ هَارُونَ بْنِ رِئَابٍ عَنْ كِنَانَةَ بْنِ نُعَيْمٍ عَنْ قَبِيصَةَ بْنِ الْمُخَارِقِ قَالَ حُمِّلْتُ حَمَالَةً فَأَتَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَل
َيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَسَأَلْتُهُ فِيهَا فَقَالَ أَقِمْ حَتَّى تَأْتِيَنَا الصَّدَقَةُ فَإِمَّا أَنْ نَحْمِلَهَا وَإِمَّا أَنْ نُعِينَكَ فِيهَا وَقَالَ إِنَّ الْمَسْأَلَةَ لَا تَحِلُّ إِلَّا لِثَلَاثَةٍ لِرَجُلٍ تَحَمَّلَ حَمَالَةَ قَوْمٍ فَيَسْأَلُ فِيهَا حَتَّى يُؤَدِّيَهَا ثُمَّ يُمْسِكُ وَرَجُلٍ أَصَابَتْهُ جَائِحَةٌ اجْتَاحَتْ مَالَهُ فَيَسْأَلُ فِيهَا حَتَّى يُصِيبَ قَوَامًا مِنْ عَيْشٍ أَوْ سِدَادًا مِنْ عَيْشٍ ثُمَّ يُمْسِكُ وَرَجُلٍ أَصَابَتْهُ فَاقَةٌ فَيَسْأَلُ حَتَّى يُصِيبَ قَوَامًا مِنْ عَيْشٍ أَوْ سِدَادًا مِنْ عَيْشٍ ثُمَّ يُمْسِكُ وَمَا سِوَى ذَلِكَ مِنْ الْمَسَائِلِ سُحْتًا يَا قَبِيصَةُ يَأْكُلُهُ صَاحِبُهُ سُحْتًا

English Translation
It was narrated from Qabisa ibn al-Mukhariq (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: 'I was burdened with the payment of blood money and came to the Prophet ﷺ asking his help. He said: "Stay until the zakat comes to us, and we will pay it for you or help you." Then he said: "Asking is only lawful for three: a man who has taken on blood money, so he asks until it is paid then stops; a man struck by a calamity that has consumed his wealth, so he asks until he has a basic sufficiency, then stops; and a man afflicted by destitution, so he asks until he has a basic sufficiency, then stops. Anything beyond that is unlawful, O Qabisa — its earner eats it unlawfully."'
