Qabisah said: "I took on a debt (hamalah), so I came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ asking him about it. He said: 'Stay, O Qabisah, until charity comes to us, and we will order that it be given to you.' He said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to me: 'O Qabisah, asking is not lawful except for one of three: a man who took on a debt, so asking becomes lawful for him until he obtains it, then he refrains; and a man struck by a calamity that wiped out his wealth, so asking becomes lawful for him until he obtains a means of subsistence, [then he refrains]; and a man struck by poverty, until three of the wise among his people say: Such-and-such has been struck by poverty, so asking becomes lawful for him until he obtains a means of subsistence, [then he refrains]. O Qabisah, other than these, asking is unlawful (suht), its practitioner consumes it.'"
