Chapter: Meaning Of Al-Miskin (The Poor)
Hadith 2573
أَخْبَرَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ ، عَنْ مَالِكٍ ، عَنْ أَبِي الزِّنَادِ ، عَنِ الْأَعْرَجِ ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ، أَنّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ : " لَيْسَ الْمِسْكِينُ بِهَذَا الطَّوَّافِ ، الَّذِي يَطُوفُ عَلَى النَّاسِ تَرُدُّهُ اللُّقْمَةُ وَاللُّقْمَتَانِ ، وَالتَّمْرَةُ وَالتَّمْرَتَانِ " , قَالُوا : فَمَا الْمِسْكِينُ ؟ , قَالَ : " الَّذِي لَا يَجِدُ غِنًى يُغْنِيهِ ، وَلَا يُفْطَنُ لَهُ فَيُتَصَدَّقَ عَلَيْهِ ، وَلَا يَقُومُ فَيَسْأَلَ النَّاسَ " .
´It was narrated from Abu Hurairah that the Messenger of Allah said:` "The poor man (Miskin) is not the one who goes around asking people and they send him away with a morsel or two, of a date or two. "They said: "Then what does poor (Mishkin) mean?" He said: "The one who does not possess independence of means and no one notices him to give charity to him, and he does not stand and ask of people."
