حَدَّثَنَا
عَفَّانُ ، أَخْبَرَنَا
شُعْبَةُ ، أَخْبَرَنِي
عَبْدُ الْمَلِكِ بْنُ عُمَيْرٍ , قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ
زَيْدَ بْنَ عُقْبَةَ ، قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ
سَمُرَةَ بْنَ جُنْدُبٍ , أَنّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ :
" الْمَسَائِلُ كُدُوحٌ يَكْدَحُ بِهَا الرَّجُلُ وَجْهَهُ ، فَمَنْ شَاءَ أَبْقَى عَلَى وَجْهِهِ ، وَمَنْ شَاءَ تَرَكَ ، إِلَّا أَنْ يَسْأَلَ الرَّجُلُ ذَا سُلْطَانٍ ، أَوْ يَسْأَلَ فِي الْأَمْرِ ، لَا يَجِدُ مِنْهُ بُدًّا " , قَالَ : فَحَدَّثْتُ بِهِ الْحَجَّاجَ ، فَقَالَ : سَلْنِي ، فَإِنِّي ذُو سُلْطَانٍ.
It is narrated from Hazrat Samurah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Stretching out one's hand to ask from someone is a wound and a blemish by which a person stains his face. Now, whoever wishes may let it remain on his face, and whoever wishes may leave it, except that a person asks from someone who is in authority or in a matter in which there is no other way out.
