Chapter: Meaning Of Al-Miskin (The Poor)
Hadith 2574
أَخْبَرَنَا نَصْرُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْأَعْلَى ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا مَعْمَرٌ ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ ، عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ، أَنّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ : " لَيْسَ الْمِسْكِينُ الَّذِي تَرُدُّهُ الْأُكْلَةُ وَالْأُكْلَتَانِ ، وَالتَّمْرَةُ وَالتَّمْرَتَانِ " , قَالُوا : فَمَا الْمِسْكِينُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ؟ قَالَ : " الَّذِي لَا يَجِدُ غِنًى ، وَلَا يَعْلَمُ النَّاسُ حَاجَتَهُ ، فَيُتَصَدَّقَ عَلَيْهِ " .
´It was narrated from Abu Hurairah that the Messenger of Allah said:` "The poor man (Miskin) is not the one who leaves if you give him a morsel or two, or a date or two." They said: "Then who is the Miskin, O Messenger of Allah?" He said: "The one who does not possess independence of means, and the people do not know of his need, so that they could give him charity."
