Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 31980 — What in the Quran was explained

Sa'id bin Jubayr said regarding the word al-qani', which occurs in Surah al-Hajj of the Noble Qur'an: It means the one who begs. Then he recited this verse of poetry by al-Shammakh: 'La-malu al-mar'i yuslihuhu fa-yughni mafaqirahu a'affu min al-qunu'i' (A man's wealth, which he manages well so that it relieves his needs, is more chaste than begging).
