أَخْبَرَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ عَمَّارٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى وَهُوَ ابْنُ حَمْزَةَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي الْأَوْزَاعِيُّ عَنْ هَارُونَ بْنِ رِئَابٍ أَنَّهُ حَدَّثَهُ عَنْ أَبِي بَكْرٍ هُو كِنَانَةُ بْنُ نُعَيْمٍ عَنْ قَبِيصَةَ بْنِ مُخَارِقٍ قَالَ
سَمِعْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ يَقُولُ لَا تَصْلُحُ الْمَسْأَلَةُ إِلَّا لِثَلَاثَةٍ رَجُلٍ أَصَابَتْ مَالَهُ حَالِقَةٌ فَيَسْأَلُ حَتَّى يُصِيبَ سِدَادًا مِنْ عَيْشٍ ثُمَّ يُمْسِكُ وَرَجُلٍ تَحَمَّلَ بِحَمَالَةٍ بَيْنَ قَوْمٍ فَيَسْأَلُ حَتَّى يُؤَدِّيَ إِلَيْهِمْ حَمَالَتَهُمْ ثُمَّ يُمْسِكُ عَنِ الْمَسْأَلَةِ وَرَجُلٍ يَحْلِفُ ثَلَاثَةُ نَفَرٍ مِنْ قَوْمِهِ مِنْ ذَوِي الْحِجَا بِاللهِ لَقَدْ حَلَّتِ الْمَسْأَلَةُ لِفُلَانٍ فَيَسْأَلُ حَتَّى يُصِيبَ قِوَامًا مِنْ مَعِيشَةٍ ثُمَّ يُمْسِكُ عَنِ الْمَسْأَلَةِ فَمَا سِوَى ذَلِكَ سُحْتٌ

✧ I heard the Prophet ﷺ say, "Asking is only permissible for three: a man whose wealth has been wiped out by a disaster, who asks until he gets enough to sustain himself, then stops; a man who has undertaken a liability on behalf of a people, who asks until he pays it off for them, then stops asking; and a man for whom three men of sound judgment from his people swear by Allah that asking has become lawful for so-and-so, and he asks until he obtains enough for a living, then stops asking. Anything beyond that is unlawful gain."
