أَخْبَرَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ مَالِكٍ عَنْ أَبِي الزِّنَادِ عَنِ الْأَعْرَجِ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ
أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ «لَيْسَ الْمِسْكِينُ بِهَذَا الطَّوَّافِ الَّذِي يَطُوفُ عَلَى النَّاسِ تَرُدُّهُ اللُّقْمَةُ وَاللُّقْمَتَانِ وَالتَّمْرَةُ وَالتَّمْرَتَانِ» قَالُوا فَمَا الْمِسْكِينُ؟ قَالَ «الَّذِي لَا يَجِدُ غِنًى يُغْنِيهِ وَلَا يُفْطَنُ لَهُ فَيُتَصَدَّقَ عَلَيْهِ وَلَا يَقُومُ فَيَسْأَلَ النَّاسَ»

✧ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'The poor person is not this one who goes around among the people, and is turned away by a morsel or two, or a date or two.' They said: 'Then who is the poor person?' He said: 'The one who does not find enough to suffice him, and is not recognized as needy so that charity may be given to him, and does not stand and beg people.'
