Sunan ad-Darimi 1720

Translation

✧ I undertook a guarantee and came to the Prophet ﷺ to ask him regarding it. He said: “Stay, O Qabisah, until the zakāh comes to us and we will order it for you.” Then he said: “O Qabisah, begging is not lawful except for one of three: a man who has undertaken a guarantee, so begging is lawful for him, and he may ask until he obtains it, then he refrains; a man who has been struck by a calamity that destroyed his wealth, so begging is lawful for him, and he may ask until he obtains a means of livelihood — or he said: a sufficiency of livelihood; and a man stricken by poverty until three people of sound judgment among his people say, ‘So-and-so has been stricken by poverty,’ so begging is lawful for him, and he may ask until he obtains a means of livelihood or a sufficiency of livelihood, then he refrains. Whatever else of begging, O Qabisah, is unlawful earnings, which its owner consumes as unlawful earnings.”
