Musnad Ishaq

Benefits:
From the aforementioned hadith, it is understood that the true needy (miskeen) is the one whose wealth is not sufficient to fulfill his necessities, and due to modesty, he does not ask people, nor does he present himself in such a way that people assist him financially. Imam Baghawi rahimahullah states: This hadith indicates that, among the people of that time, the miskeen was known as the one who goes around asking (ṭawwāf al-sā’il), but the Messenger of Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam informed them that the miskeen is actually the one who neither asks people nor presents himself in such a way that people give him (some) wealth. He further states: The beggar, due to his asking, gathers enough for his sufficiency, and thus his state of neediness is removed. In contrast, the one who neither asks nor presents himself in such a way that people give him something—his state of neediness does not cease. (Sharh al-Sunnah: 6/87)

In the Noble Qur’an, al-Furqan al-Hamid, it is stated:
﴿لِلْفُقَرَآءِ الَّذِیْنَ اُحْصِرُوْا فِیْ سَبِیْلِ اللّٰهِ لَا یَسْتَطِیْعُوْنَ ضَرْبًا فِی الْاَرْضِ یَحْسَبُهُمُ الْجَاهِلُ اَغْنِیَآءَ مِنَ التَّعَفُّفِ تَعْرِفُهُمْ بِسِیْمٰهُمْ لَا یَسْئَلُوْنَ النَّاسَ اِلْحَافًا﴾ (al-Baqarah: 273)
“Charity is for the poor who are restricted for the cause of Allah, unable to move about in the land. The ignorant consider them free of need because of their restraint. You will recognize them by their mark; they do not ask people persistently.”

It is thus understood that, instead of professional beggars, one should seek out and assist the migrants, students of religion, scholars, and dignified needy individuals who refrain from asking, because stretching one’s hand before others is against human dignity and self-respect.
