وَعَنْهُ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: لَيْسَ الْمِسْكِينُ الَّذِي تَرُدُّهُ التَّمْرَةُ وَالتَّمْرَتَانِ، وَلاَ اللُّقْمَةُ واللقمتان إِنَّمَا الْمِسْكِينُ الَّذِي يَتَعَفَّفُ ((مُتَّفَقٌ عَلَيْهِ)).
Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said, "A Miskin (needy) is not the one who can be turned away with a date-fruit or two, or a morsel or two. The true Miskin is one who, despite his poverty, abstains from begging". [Al- Bukhari and Muslim].
