ما قالوا في الفقراء والمساكين من هم
The poor and the needy: who they are
Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 10900 — The poor and the needy: who they are
١٠٩٠٠ - حدثنا محمد بن عبد اللَّه الأسدي قال: حدثنا (معقل) (١) قال: سألت الزهري عن (قول اللَّه) (٢) تعالى: ﴿إِنَّمَا الصَّدَقَاتُ لِلْفُقَرَاءِ وَالْمَسَاكِينِ﴾، قال: الفقراء الذين في بيوتهم ولا يسألون، والمساكين الذين يخرجون فيسألون.
Ma'qil said: I asked Imam al-Zuhri about the saying of Allah Almighty: {Charities are only for the poor and the needy}: who is meant by it? He said: The poor are those who stay in their homes and do not ask anyone, and the needy are those who go out of their homes and ask.
