Musnad Ahmad 7539 — Musnad of Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with)
(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْأَعْلَى ، عَنْ مَعْمَرٍ ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ ، عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ، أَنّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، قَالَ : " لَيْسَ الْمِسْكِينُ الَّذِي تَرُدُّهُ التَّمْرَةُ ، وَالتَّمْرَتَانِ ، وَالْأُكْلَةُ ، وَالْأُكْلَتَانِ " ، قَالُوا : فَمَنْ الْمِسْكِينُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ؟ قَالَ : " الَّذِي لَا يَجِدُ غِنًى ، وَلَا يَعْلَمُ النَّاسُ بِحَاجَتِهِ ، فَيُتَصَدَّقَ عَلَيْهِ " . قَالَ الزُّهْرِيُّ : وَذَلِكَ هُوَ الْمَحْرُومُ .
It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: The needy is not the one who is turned away with one or two dates or one or two morsels. The companions (may Allah be pleased with them) asked: O Messenger of Allah, then who is the needy? He said: The one who does not have enough to suffice himself, and others do not know of his needs so that they might give him charity. Imam Zuhri (may Allah have mercy on him) says: This person is deprived.
