Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "The poor person is not the one who goes round the people and ask them for a mouthful or two (of meals) or a date or two but the poor is that who has not enough (money) 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."  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ لَيْسَ الْمِسْكِينُ الَّذِي يَطُوفُ عَلَى النَّاسِ تَرُدُّهُ اللُّقْمَةُ وَاللُّقْمَتَانِ وَالتَّمْرَةُ وَالتَّمْرَتَانِ وَلَكِنِ الْمِسْكِينُ الَّذِي لاَ يَجِدُ غِنًى يُغْنِيهِ وَلاَ يُفْطَنُ بِهِ فَيُتَصَدَّقُ عَلَيْهِ وَلاَ يَقُومُ فَيَسْأَلُ النَّاسَ  

The poor man (miskin) is not the one who goes round to the people and is dismissed with one or two morsels. and one or two dates. They (the Prophet's Companions) said: Messenger of Allah, then who is miskin? He said: He who does not get enough to satisfy him, and he is not considered so (as to elicit the attention of the benevolent people), so that charity way be given to him. and he does not beg anything from people.  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ لَيْسَ الْمِسْكِينُ بِهَذَا الطَّوَّافِ الَّذِي يَطُوفُ عَلَى النَّاسِ فَتَرُدُّهُ اللُّقْمَةُ وَاللُّقْمَتَانِ وَالتَّمْرَةُ وَالتَّمْرَتَانِ قَالُوا فَمَا الْمِسْكِينُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ الَّذِي لاَ يَجِدُ غِنًى يُغْنِيهِ وَلاَ يُفْطَنُ لَهُ فَيُتَصَدَّقَ عَلَيْهِ وَلاَ يَسْأَلُ النَّاسَ شَيْئًا  

"The poor man (Miskin) is not the one who goes around asking people and they send him away with a morsel or two, of a date or two. "They said: "Then what does poor (Mishkin) mean?" He said: "The one who does not possess independence of means and no one notices him to give charity to him, and he does not stand and ask of people."  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ لَيْسَ الْمِسْكِينُ بِهَذَا الطَّوَّافِ الَّذِي يَطُوفُ عَلَى النَّاسِ تَرُدُّهُ اللُّقْمَةُ وَاللُّقْمَتَانِ وَالتَّمْرَةُ وَالتَّمْرَتَانِ قَالُوا فَمَا الْمِسْكِينُ قَالَ الَّذِي لاَ يَجِدُ غِنًى يُغْنِيهِ وَلاَ يُفْطَنُ لَهُ فَيُتَصَدَّقَ عَلَيْهِ وَلاَ يَقُومُ فَيَسْأَلَ النَّاسَ  

"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."  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ لَيْسَ الْمِسْكِينُ الَّذِي تَرُدُّهُ الأُكْلَةُ وَالأُكْلَتَانِ وَالتَّمْرَةُ وَالتَّمْرَتَانِ قَالُوا فَمَا الْمِسْكِينُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ الَّذِي لاَ يَجِدُ غِنًى وَلاَ يَعْلَمُ النَّاسُ حَاجَتَهُ فَيُتَصَدَّقَ عَلَيْهِ  

Yahya related to me from Malik from Abu'z-Zinad from al-Araj from Abu Hurayra that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "The very poor are not the people who constantly walk from person to person and are given one or two morsels, and one or two dates." They said, "Who are the very poor, Messenger of Allah?" He said, "People who do not find enough for themselves and other people are not aware of them to give sadaqa to them, and they do not start begging from other people."  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ لَيْسَ الْمِسْكِينُ بِهَذَا الطَّوَّافِ الَّذِي يَطُوفُ عَلَى النَّاسِ فَتَرُدُّهُ اللُّقْمَةُ وَاللُّقْمَتَانِ وَالتَّمْرَةُ وَالتَّمْرَتَانِ قَالُوا فَمَا الْمِسْكِينُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ الَّذِي لاَ يَجِدُ غِنًى يُغْنِيهِ وَلاَ يَفْطُنُ النَّاسُ لَهُ فَيُتَصَدَّقَ عَلَيْهِ وَلاَ يَقُومُ فَيَسْأَلَ النَّاسَ  

"The poor man (Miskin) is not the one who goes around asking people and they send him away with a morsel or two, of a date or two. "They said: "Then what does poor (Mishkin) mean?" He said: "The one who does not possess independence of means and no one notices him to give charity to him, and he does not stand and ask of people." (Using translation from Nasāʾī 2572)   

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِنَّ الْمِسْكِينَ لَيْسَ بِالطَّوَّافِ الَّذِي تَرُدُّهُ اللُّقْمَةُ وَاللُّقْمَتَانِ أَوِ التَّمْرَةُ وَالتَّمْرَتَانِ قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ فَمَنِ الْمِسْكِينُ؟ قَالَ الَّذِي لَا يَسْأَلُ النَّاسَ وَلَا يَجِدُ مَا يُغْنِيهِ وَلَا يُفْطَنُ لَهُ فَيُتَصَدَّقَ عَلَيْهِ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "The poor person is not the one who goes around begging people for a date or two, or a morsel of food. Rather, the true poor person is the one who is self-restrained, who does not ask people for anything, and whose poverty is not noticed by others so that they may give charity to him."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ لَيْسَ الْمِسْكِينُ بِالطَّوَّافِ وَلَا بِالَّذِي تَرُدُّهُ التَّمْرَةُ وَلَا التَّمْرَتَانِ وَلَا اللُّقْمَةُ وَلَا اللُّقْمَتَانِ وَلَكِنِ الْمِسْكِينُ الْمُتَعَفِّفُ الَّذِي لَا يَسْأَلُ النَّاسَ شَيْئًا وَلَا يُفْطَنُ لَهُ فَيُتَصَدَّقَ عَلَيْهِ  

[Machine] From the Prophet ﷺ , he said: "The poor person is not the one who is handed a morsel or two, or a small piece of food, or two small pieces of food, or a date, or two dates. Rather, the poor person is the one who does not have sufficient means to make him independent and feels ashamed to ask people for help, or refrains from asking people for help."  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ أَنَّهُ قَالَ «لَيْسَ الْمِسْكِينُ الَّذِي تَرُدُّهُ اللُّقْمَةُ وَاللُّقْمَتَانِ وَالْكِسْرَةُ وَالْكِسْرَتَانِ وَالتَّمْرَةُ وَالتَّمْرَتَانِ وَلَكِنِ الْمِسْكِينُ الَّذِي لَيْسَ لَهُ غِنًى يُغْنِيهِ يَسْتَحْيِي أَنْ يَسْأَلَ النَّاسَ إِلْحَافًا أَوْ لَا يَسْأَلُ النَّاسَ إِلْحَافًا »  

[Machine] From the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, he said: "The true needy person is not the one who is satisfied with a single meal, two meals, a morsel, two morsels, a date, or two dates. Rather, the truly needy person is the one who cannot find sufficiency, yet they are given sufficiency. They do not ask people insistently for help, and they feel ashamed to ask people insistently for help."  

عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ «لَيْسَ الْمِسْكِينُ بِالطَّوَافِ مَنْ تَرُدُّهُ الْأَكْلَةُ وَالْأَكْلَتَانِ وَاللُّقْمَةُ وَاللُّقْمَتَانِ وَالتَّمْرَةُ وَالتَّمْرَتَانِ وَلَكِنَّ الْمِسْكِينَ الَّذِي لَا يَجِدُ غِنًى فَيُغْنِيهِ وَلَا يَسْأَلُ النَّاسَ إِلْحَافًا وَيَسْتَحْيِي أَنْ يَسْأَلَ النَّاسَ إِلْحَافًا»
