بَابُ جَوَازِ قَبُولِ الْعَطَاءِ إِذَا كَانَ مِنْ غَيْرِ مَسْأَلَةٍ - وَسُؤَالِ الصَّالِحِينَ إِنْ كَانَ وَلَاChapter: Permissibility of Accepting Gifts Without Asking, and Asking the Righteous if Necessary
Hadith 3543
اُردوEn
عَنِ ابْنِ الْفِرَاسِيِّ أَنَّ الْفِرَاسِيَّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ: أَسْأَلُ، قَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَعَلَى آلِهِ وَصَحْبِهِ وَسَلَّمَ: لَا، وَإِنْ كُنْتَ سَائِلًا لَا بُدَّ فَاسْأَلِ الصَّالِحِينَ
It is narrated from Ibn Frasi that Sayyiduna Frasi (may Allah be pleased with him) said to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him): "May I ask (for something)?" The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "No, and if there is no way except to ask, then ask from the righteous people."
Brief Explanation
Benefits: … It has already been mentioned in Hadith number (3528) that a person may ask (for help) from the rulers, and in cases of extreme necessity, where there is absolutely no alternative, he may ask from anyone, whether specific or general. In any case, considering the different temperaments, one may avoid some people and prefer others. May Allah, the Exalted, keep us in need only of His threshold.
