حَدَّثَنَا
أَبُو نُعَيْمٍ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا
الْأَعْمَشُ ، عَنْ
أَبِي صَالِحٍ ، عَنْ
أَبِي هُرَيْرَة ، قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّم :
" لَيْسَ الْمِسْكِينُ الَّذِي تَرُدُّهُ الْأُكْلَةُ وَالْأُكْلَتَانِ ، أَوْ التَّمْرَةُ وَالتَّمْرَتَانِ ، وَلَكِنْ الْمِسْكِينُ الَّذِي لَا يَسْأَلُ شَيْئًا ، وَلَا يُفْطَنُ بِمَكَانِهِ فَيُعْطَى " .
It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: The needy is not the one who can be turned away with two dates or one or two morsels; the real needy is the one who does not ask anything from people, and others do not know of his needs so that they may spend on him.
