Chapter: What Has Been Reported Regarding Abandoning Earning a Living and Relying on Begging, and the Warning for the Doer
Al-Fath ar-Rabbani 3525 — What Has Been Reported Regarding Abandoning
اُردوEn
(وَعَنْهُ مِنْ طَرِيقٍ ثَالِثٍ) أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: ((لَا يَفْتَحُ الْإِنْسَانُ عَلَى نَفْسِهِ بَابَ مَسْأَلَةٍ إِلَّا فَتَحَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ بَابَ فَقْرٍ، يَأْخُذُ الرَّجُلُ حَبْلَهُ فَيَعْمِدُ إِلَى الْجَبَلِ فَيَحْتَطِبُ عَلَى ظَهْرِهِ، فَيَأْكُلُ بِهِ خَيْرٌ لَهُ مِنْ أَنْ يَسْأَلَ النَّاسَ مُعْطًى أَوْ مَمْنُوعًا))
(The third chain) The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: Whoever opens the door of begging and asking for himself, Allah Almighty opens the door of poverty and need for him. If a man takes a rope and goes towards the mountain, cuts firewood on his back and brings it, and eats from it (i.e., earns his living this way), then this is better for him than asking people, where sometimes he is given something and sometimes he is deprived.
Brief Explanation
Benefits: … From these ahadith it is understood that every Muslim should make every possible effort for lawful (halal) earnings and should avoid spreading the hand of begging before people.
