أَخْبَرَنِي هَارُونُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا مَعْنٌ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا مَالِكٌ . ح وَأَنْبَأَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ ، عَنْ مَالِكٍ ، عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ أَسْلَمَ ، عَنِ ابْنِ بُجَيْدٍ الْأَنْصَارِيِّ ، عَنْ جَدِّتِهِ ، أَنّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ : " رُدُّوا السَّائِلَ وَلَوْ بِظِلْفٍ " , فِي حَدِيثِ هَارُونَ مُحْرَقٍ .

Explanation & Benefits
Hafiz Muhammad Ameen
The purpose is emphasis, and this ruling applies when the one asking is deserving and the one being asked has the means. Otherwise, giving to professional beggars (provided it is known) may fall under the category of sin, because in this way begging is encouraged, whereas Islam has strictly prohibited it.

Nasai — Hadith 2575
´It was narrated from 'Abdur-Rahman bin Bujaid that his grandmother Umm Bujaid -who was one of those who gave the oath of allegiance to the Messenger of Allah - said to the Messenger of Allah:` " The poor man stands at my door, and I cannot find anything to give him. " The Messenger of Allah said to her: "If you cannot find anything to give to him except a sheep's burned foot, then give it to him."
Hafiz Muhammad Ameen
The questioner should not be sent away from the door empty-handed. Allah Ta'ala knows best who is truly deserving and who is not, except in the case where it is known that the person is a professional beggar and is not genuinely in need. (Also see, Hadith: 2566)

Tirmidhi — Hadith 665
´Abdur-Rahman bin Bujaid narrated from his grandmother; :` Umm Bujaid - and she was one of those who gave the pledge to the Prophet - she said to the Messenger of Allah: "There is a needy person who stands outside my door, but I cannot find anything to give to him." So the Messenger of Allah said to her: "If you do not find anything to give him except a burnt trotter then hand it over to him."
Shaykh Dr. Abdur Rahman Freywai
1:
There is hyperbole in this;
the meaning is that do not turn the beggar away empty-handed—give him whatever is available.

Abu Dawud — Hadith 1667
Narrated Umm Bujayd: She took the oath of allegiance to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said to him: Messenger of Allah, a poor man stands at my door, but I find nothing to give him. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to her: If you do not find anything to give him, put something in his hand, even though it should be a burnt hoof.
Shaykh Umar Farooq Saeedi
1667. Commentary: The meaning is that one should certainly give something to the beggar; do not send him away empty-handed. However, this ruling does not apply to professional habitual beggars. Giving to professional beggars encourages the profession of begging, which is a crime. Nevertheless, if it is not certain that someone is a professional beggar, then one should assist him according to one's ability.
