Al-Firasi asked the Messenger of Allah ﷺ: May I beg, Messenger of Allah? The Prophet ﷺ said: No, but if there is no escape from it, beg from the upright. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 1646)
لِرَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ أَسْأَلُ؟ قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ لَا وَإِنْ كُنْتَ سَائِلًا لَا بُدَّ فَاسْأَلِ الصَّالِحِينَ
