Abu Hurayrah narrated that the Messenger of Allah said,
«لَيْسَ الْمِسْكِينُ
بِهَذَا الطَّوَّافِ الَّذِي يَطُوفُ عَلَى النَّاسِ فَتَرُدُّهُ اللُّقْمَةُ
وَاللُّقْمَتَانِ، وَالتَّمْرَةُ وَالتَّمْرَتَان»
قالوا: فمن المسكين يا رسول الله؟ قال:
«الَّذِي لَا يَجِدُ
غِنًى يُغْنِيهِ، وَلَا يُفْطَنُ لَهُ فَيُتَصَدَّقَ عَلَيْهِ، وَلَا يَسْأَلُ
النَّاسَ شَيْئًا»
(The needy person is not the one who goes round the people and asks them for
a mouthful or two (of meals) or a date or two). They asked, "Then who is the
needy person, O Allah's Messenger!'' He said, (The one who does not have enough
to satisfy his needs and whose condition is not known to others, that others may
give him something in charity, and who does not beg of people.) The Two Shaykhs
collected this Hadith
