(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ ، حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ الْهَجَرِيُّ ، عَنْ أَبِي الْأَحْوَصِ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ، قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " لَيْسَ الْمِسْكِينُ بِالطَّوَّافِ ، وَلَا بِالَّذِي تَرُدُّهُ التَّمْرَةُ وَلَا التَّمْرَتَانِ ، وَلَا اللُّقْمَةُ وَلَا اللُّقْمَتَانِ ، وَلَكِنْ الْمِسْكِينُ الْمُتَعَفِّفُ الَّذِي لَا يَسْأَلُ النَّاسَ شَيْئًا ، وَلَا يُفْطَنُ لَهُ فَيُتَصَدَّقَ عَلَيْهِ " .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The one who goes around in the streets, returning with one or two dates or one or two morsels, is not the real needy person. The real needy person is the dignified one who does not ask people for anything, nor does he let people realize that he is in need so that someone might give him charity."
