بَابُ نَهْيِ الْغَنِيِّ عَنِ السُّؤَالِ وَحَدِّ الْغِنَى - وَمَنْ لَا تَحِلُّ لَهُ الصَّدَقَةُChapter: Forbidding the Wealthy from Begging, the Definition of Wealth, and Who Is Not Permitted to Receive Charity
Hadith 3505
اُردوEn
عَنْ عَطَاءِ بْنِ يَسَارٍ عَنْ رَجُلٍ مِنْ بَنِي أَسَدٍ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ: ((مَنْ سَأَلَ وَلَهُ أُوقِيَةٌ أَوْ عَدْلُهَا فَقَدْ سَأَلَ إِلْحَافًا))
A man from Banu Asad narrates that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: Whoever owns one uqiyah or something equivalent to it and still begs, then (it will mean that) he has begged insistently and clung to begging (which is not his right).
Brief Explanation
Benefits: … Not asking insistently is a characteristic of good people, as Allah the Exalted has stated:
{لِلْفُقَرَآئِ الَّّذِیْنَ اُحْصِرُوْا فِیْ سَبِیْلِ اللّٰہِ لَا یَسْتَطِیْعُوْنَ ضَرْبًا فِیْ الْاَرْضِ یَحْسَبُھُمُ الْجَاھِلُ اَغْنِیَآئَ مِنَ التَّعَفُّفِ تَعْرِفُھُمْ بِسِیْمٰھُمْ لَایَسْاَلُوْنَ النَّاسَ إِِلْحَافًا وَّمَا تُنْفِقُوْا مِنْ خَیْرٍفَاِنَّ اللّٰہَ بِہٖعَلِیْمٌ۔} (Surah al-Baqarah: 273) …
"Charity is only for the poor who have been restrained in the way of Allah, unable to move about in the land. The ignorant consider them wealthy because of their restraint from begging. You will recognize them by their appearance—they do not persistently ask people. Whatever wealth you spend, Allah is fully aware of it." (40) A dirham is one uqiyyah, which is approximately (10) tolas of silver.
