Sunan at-Tirmithiy كتاب الزكاة باب ما جاء من لا تحل له الصدقة

حَدَّثَنَا عَلِىُّ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ الْكِنْدِىُّ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحِيمِ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ عَنْ مُجَالِدٍ عَنْ عَامِرٍ الشَّعْبِىِّ عَنْ حُبْشِىِّ بْنِ جُنَادَةَ السَّلُولِىِّ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم فِى حَجَّةِ الْوَدَاعِ وَهُوَ وَاقِفٌ بِعَرَفَةَ أَتَاهُ أَعْرَابِىٌّ فَأَخَذَ بِطَرَفِ رِدَائِهِ فَسَأَلَهُ إِيَّاهُ فَأَعْطَاهُ وَذَهَبَ فَعِنْدَ ذَلِكَ حَرُمَتِ الْمَسْأَلَةُ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم إِنَّ الْمَسْأَلَةَ لاَ تَحِلُّ لِغَنِىٍّ وَلاَ لِذِى مِرَّةٍ سَوِىٍّ إِلاَّ لِذِى فَقْرٍ مُدْقِعٍ أَوْ غُرْمٍ مُفْظِعٍ وَمَنْ سَأَلَ النَّاسَ لِيُثْرِىَ بِهِ مَالَهُ كَانَ خُمُوشًا فِى وَجْهِهِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ وَرَضْفًا يَأْكُلُهُ مِنْ جَهَنَّمَ فَمَنْ شَاءَ فَلْيُقِلَّ وَمَنْ شَاءَ فَلْيُكْثِرْ.
While the Messenger of God, peace and blessings of God be upon him, was standing on 'Arafah during the Farewell Pilgrimage (1), he was approached by a Bedouin who grasped the edge of his cloak and asked him for it. The Messenger of God, peace and blessings of God be upon him, gave it to him, and he left. Since then, begging was decreed forbidden. The Messenger of God, peace and blessings of God be upon him, said, "Begging is not permissible for the rich, nor for those who are fit to earn a living; but only for someone in grinding poverty or serious debt. Whoever begs to thereby increase his (2) wealth, it will blemish his face on the Day of Resurrection and will turn to a scorching stone from Hell that he will eat; so let him reduce [his punishment] or increase it as he pleases (3). Footnotes: (1) (Ḥajj) The pilgrimage to Makkah during the first half of the month of Thul-Ḥijjah, which is the fifth pillar of Islām. The Prophet's Farewell Pilgrimage was his final pilgrimage before he passed away. (2) Masculine pronouns are used in Arabic for referring to both men and women when the meaning is left general and is not otherwise specified. (3) i.e. it is up to him to decrease his punishment by not begging, and vice-versa. Click on ḥadīth to read more
