حَدَّثَنَا عَبَّادُ بْنُ مُوسَى الْأَنْبَارِيُّ الْخُتُّلِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ يَعْنِي ابْنَ سَعْدٍ ، قَالَ : أَخْبَرَنِي أَبِي ، عَنْ رَيْحَانَ بْنِ يَزِيدَ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، قَالَ : " لَا تَحِلُّ الصَّدَقَةُ لِغَنِيٍّ وَلَا لِذِي مِرَّةٍ سَوِيٍّ " . قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُد : رَوَاهُ سُفْيَانُ ، عَنْ سَعْدِ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ ، كَمَا قَالَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ : وَرَوَاهُ شُعْبَةُ ، عَنْ سَعْدٍ ، قَالَ لِذِي مِرَّةٍ قَوِيٍّ ، وَالْأَحَادِيثُ الْأُخَرُ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بَعْضُهَا لِذِي مِرَّةٍ قَوِيٍّ وَبَعْضُهَا لِذِي مِرَّةٍ سَوِيٍّ ، وقَالَ عَطَاءُ بْنُ زُهَيْرٍ : أَنَّهُ لَقِيَ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ عَمْرٍو ، فَقَالَ : إِنَّ الصَّدَقَةَ لَا تَحِلُّ لِقَوِيٍّ وَلَا لِذِي مِرَّةٍ سَوِيٍّ .
Narrated Abdullah ibn Amr: The Prophet ﷺ said: Sadaqah may not be given to a rich man or to one who has strength and is sound in limbs. Abu Dawud said: This tradition has been transmitted by Sufyan from Saad bin Ibrahim like the tradition narrated by Ibrahim. The version of Shubah from Saad has: "for a man who has strength and is robust. " The other version of this tradition from the Prophet ﷺ have the words "for a man who has strength and is robust. " Others have "for a man who has strength and is sound in limbs. " Ata bin Zuhair said that he had met Abdullah bin Amr who said: "Sadaqah is not lawful for a strong man nor for a man who has strength and is sound in limbs. "

1634. Commentary: By (qawi) is meant physical strength; (marrat) refers to the ability to earn a livelihood; and (sawi) means being sound in limbs. For such individuals, to beg without a legitimate Shar‘i entitlement is forbidden, and to give charity to them without a Shar‘i justification is not permissible.

Commentary:
1: The meaning of ((ذِي مِرَّةٍ)) is "possessor of strength," and ((سَوِیّ)) means "physically sound and healthy."
2:
That is, in ((لَا تَحِلُّ لَه الصَّدَقّةُ)), "charity" (sadaqah) is in the sense of (asking/begging) as a legal issue.
