Sayyiduna Samurah bin Jundub (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Asking is not permissible for one who is well-off, except that he may ask a relative or the ruler."
Al-Tabarani recorded it in al-Mu'jam al-Awsat; its chain contains a narrator, Abdullah bin Khirash, whom Ibn Hibban declared thiqah (trustworthy), while a group declared him da'if (weak). A hadith will come later: "The one who asks has a right, even if he comes on a horse," if Allah wills.
