Encouragement to give to the beggar
Hadith 477
181- مالك عن زيد بن أسلم عن محمد بن بجيد الأنصاري عن جدته أن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم قال: ”ردوا السائل ولو بظلف محرق.“
It is narrated from the grandmother of Muhammad bin Bajid Al-Ansari (Tabi'i) that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Send the beggar back (by giving him something), even if it is only a burnt hoof."
Hadith 478
255- وبه: أن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم قال وهو على المنبر وهو يذكر الصدقة والتعفف عن المسألة: ”اليد العليا خير من اليد السفلى، واليد العليا المنفقة، والسفلى السائلة.“
And with the same chain of narration (from Sayyiduna Ibn Umar, may Allah be pleased with them both), it is narrated that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, mentioned avoiding charity and begging while on the pulpit and said: "The upper hand is better than the lower hand; the upper hand is the one that gives, and the lower hand is the one that asks."
