Musnad Ahmad 4260 — Musnad of Abdullah ibn Mas'ud
(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا عَبْد اللَّهِ ، قَالَ : قَرَأْتُ عَلَى أَبِي : حَدَّثَكَ عَمْرُو بْنُ مُجَمِّعٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ الْهَجَرِيُّ ، عَنْ أَبِي الْأَحْوَصِ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ ، قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " إِنَّ الْمِسْكِينَ لَيْسَ بِالطَّوَّافِ الَّذِي تَرُدُّهُ اللُّقْمَةُ وَاللُّقْمَتَانِ ، أَوْ التَّمْرَةُ وَالتَّمْرَتَانِ " ، قُلْتُ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، فَمَنْ الْمِسْكِينُ ؟ قَالَ : " الَّذِي لَا يَسْأَلُ النَّاسَ ، وَلَا يَجِدُ مَا يُغْنِيهِ ، 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."
