[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "The poor person is not the one who goes around asking people for a bite or two, or a date or two, but the poor person is the one who does not have enough and is not noticed, so that he may be given charity, and he does not ask people for anything." This is the narration of Al-Mughira, and it is also narrated by Malik. And he does not stand up to ask people.  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ لَيْسَ الْمِسْكِينُ بِهَذَا الطَّوَّافِ الَّذِي يَطُوفُ عَلَى النَّاسِ فَتَرُدُّهُ اللُّقْمَةُ وَاللُّقْمَتَانِ وَالتَّمْرَةُ وَالتَّمْرَتَانِ قَالُوا فَمَنِ الْمِسْكِينُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ؟ قَالَ الَّذِي لَا يَجِدُ غِنًى يُغْنِيهِ وَلَا يُفْطَنُ لَهُ فَيُتَصَدَّقُ عَلَيْهِ وَلَا يَسْأَلُ النَّاسَ شَيْئًا لَفْظُ حَدِيثِ الْمُغِيرَةِ وَفِي رِوَايَةِ مَالِكٍ وَلَا يَقُومُ فَيَسْأَلُ النَّاسَ  

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." (Using translation from Bukhārī 1479)   

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ لَيْسَ الْمِسْكِينُ هَذَا الطَّوَّافُ الَّذِي يَطُوفُ عَلَى النَّاسِ تَرُدُّهُ اللُّقْمَةُ وَاللُّقْمَتَانِ وَالتَّمْرَةُ وَالتَّمْرَتَانِ لَكِنَّ الْمِسْكِينَ الَّذِي لَا يَجِدُ غِنًى يُغْنِيهِ وَيَسْتَحِي أَنْ يَسْأَلَ النَّاسَ وَلَا يُفْطَنُ لَهُ فَيُتَصَدَّقُ عَلَيْهِ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: The destitute is not the one who receives dates or two dates or a mouthful or two mouthfuls of food. Rather, the destitute is the one who refrains from begging. Read if you wish: "They do not ask people persistently". [Al-Baqarah 2:273]  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ لَيْسَ الْمِسْكِينُ الَّذِي تَرُدُّهُ التَّمْرَةُ وَالتَّمْرَتَانِ وَاللُّقْمَةُ وَاللُّقْمَتَانِ إِنَّمَا الْمِسْكِينُ الَّذِي يَتَعَفَّفُ اقْرَءُوا إِنْ شِئْتُمْ {لَا يَسْأَلُونَ النَّاسَ إِلْحَافًا } [البقرة 273]  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to say in his supplication, "O Allah, I seek refuge in You from poverty, scarcity, and humiliation. And I seek refuge in You from oppressing or being oppressed." It is also narrated in a hadith by Abu Bakr from the Prophet ﷺ that he said, "O Allah, I seek refuge in You from disbelief and poverty." And in a hadith by Abu Salih from Abu Hurairah, it is narrated from the Prophet ﷺ, "Settle our debts and make us needless of poverty."  

كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ فِي دُعَائِهِ اللهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنَ الْفَقْرِ وَالْقِلَّةِ وَالذِّلَّةِ وَأَعُوذُ بِكَ أَنْ أَظْلِمَ أَوْ أُظْلَمَ وَرُوِّينَا أَيْضًا فِي حَدِيثِ أَبِي بَكْرَةَ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ أَنَّهُ قَالَ اللهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنَ الْكُفْرِ وَالْفَقْرِ وَفِي حَدِيثِ أَبِي صَالِحٍ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ؓ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ اقْضِ عَنَّا الدَّيْنَ وَاغْنِنَا مِنَ الْفَقْرِ  

[Machine] I heard Ubada bin As-Samit say: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to say, "O Allah! Make me live as a poor person and cause me to die as a poor person, and gather me among the group of the poor."  

سَمِعْتُ عُبَادَةَ بْنَ الصَّامِتِ ؓ يَقُولُ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ اللهُمَّ أَحْيِنِي مِسْكِينًا وَتَوَفَّنِي مِسْكِينًا وَاحْشُرْنِي فِي زُمْرَةِ الْمَسَاكِينِ  

[Machine] "Allahumma ahyini miskeenan wa amitni miskeenan wa hashurni fi zimratil masakeena yawm al-qiyamah." Aisha said, "O Messenger of Allah, why so?" He said, "Because they enter Paradise forty years before the rich. O Aisha, never turn away a poor person, even if it is with half a date. O Aisha, love the poor and bring them close, for surely Allah will bring you close on the Day of Judgment." Our companions sought refuge from poverty and asked for sufficiency, and he already had some sufficiency, which indicates that a poor person is one who has some sufficiency." The scholar said it has been narrated in the hadith of Shayban from Qatadah from Anas from the Prophet ﷺ that he sought refuge from poverty and destitution, so it is not permissible for his seeking refuge from a state of honor in many reports, or from a state for which he asked to be given life and death. It is not permissible for his request to contradict what he died upon, for he died satisfied with what Allah the Almighty bestowed upon him. And the purpose of these hadiths is clear to me, and Allah knows best, that he sought refuge from the trials of poverty and destitution, which refer to scarcity, as he sought refuge from the trial of wealth."  

اللهِ ﷺ اللهُمَّ أَحْيِنِي مِسْكِينًا وَأَمِتْنِي مِسْكِينًا وَاحْشُرْنِي فِي زُمْرَةِ الْمَسَاكِينِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ فَقَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ ؓ وَلِمَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ؟ قَالَ لِأَنَّهُمْ يَدْخُلُونَ الْجَنَّةَ قَبْلَ الْأَغْنِيَاءِ بِأَرْبَعِينَ خَرِيفًا يَا عَائِشَةُ لَا تَرُدِّي الْمِسْكِينَ وَلَوْ بِشِقِّ تَمْرَةٍ يَا عَائِشَةُ أَحِبِّي الْمِسَاكِينَ وَقَرِّبِيهِمْ فَإِنَّ اللهَ يُقَرِّبُكِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ قَالَ أَصْحَابُنَا فَقَدِ اسْتَعَاذَ مِنَ الْفَقْرِ وَسَأَلَ الْمَسْكَنَةَ وَقَدْ كَانَ لَهُ بَعْضُ الْكِفَايَةِ يَدُلُّ عَلَى أَنَّ الْمِسْكِينَ مَنْ لَهُ بَعْضُ الْكِفَايَةِ قَالَ الشَّيْخُ قَدْ رُوِيَ فِي حَدِيثِ شَيْبَانَ عَنْ قَتَادَةَ عَنْ أَنَسٍ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ أَنَّهُ اسْتَعَاذَ مِنَ الْمَسْكَنَةِ وَالْفَقْرِ فَلَا يَجُوزُ أَنْ يَكُونَ اسْتِعَاذَتُهُ مِنَ الْحَالِ الَّتِي شَرَّفَهَا فِي أَخْبَارٍ كَثِيرَةٍ وَلَا مِنَ الْحَالِ الَّتِي سَأَلَ أَنْ يُحْيَى وَيُمَاتَ عَلَيْهَا وَلَا يَجُوزُ أَنْ يَكُونَ مَسْأَلَتُهُ مُخَالِفَةً لِمَا مَاتَ ﷺ عَلَيْهِ فَقَدْ مَاتَ مَكْفِيًّا بِمَا أَفَاءَ اللهُ تَعَالَى عَلَيْهِ وَوَجْهُ هَذِهِ الْأَحَادِيثِ عِنْدِي وَاللهُ أَعْلَمُ أَنَّهُ اسْتَعَاذَ مِنْ فِتْنَتِهِ الْفَقْرِ وَالْمَسْكَنَةِ اللَّذَيْنِ يَرْجِعُ مَعْنَاهُمَا إِلَى الْقِلَّةِ كَمَا اسْتَعَاذَ مِنْ فِتْنَةِ الْغِنَى  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to seek refuge, saying: "O Allah, I seek refuge with You from the tribulation of Hellfire, the tribulation of the grave, the punishment of the grave, and the evil of the tribulation of wealth and the evil of the tribulation of poverty. O Allah, I seek refuge with You from the evil of the Dajjal's tribulation and he mentioned the Hadith, and this Hadith is authentic and it indicates that he sought refuge from the tribulation of poverty without being in a state of poverty, and from the tribulation of wealth without being in a state of wealth. As for his saying, "If it is as he said, then it means that his state at the time of his death was such that he did not ask for the state of poverty which indicates a shortage, but rather he asked for the state of poverty which indicates humility and humility. It is as if he ﷺ asked Allah, the Most High, not to make him one of the arrogant oppressors and not to gather him among the group of the rich and indulgent." Al-Qa'nabi said: "And al-Masakana is a term that is derived from stillness. It is said that a person settles down when he is calm, humbled, and humble. And from it is the saying of the Prophet ﷺ to the one praying: Be still and calm, meaning, humble yourself and be humble before Allah."  

كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَتَعَوَّذُ يَقُولُ اللهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ فِتْنَةِ النَّارِ وَفِتْنَةِ الْقَبْرِ وَعَذَابِ الْقَبْرِ وَشَرِّ فِتْنَةِ الْغِنَى وَشَرِّ فِتْنَةِ الْفَقْرِ اللهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ شَرِّ فِتْنَةِ الدَّجَّالِ وَذَكَرَ الْحَدِيثَ وَهَذَا حَدِيثٌ ثَابِتٌ قَدْ أَخْرَجَاهُ فِي الصَّحِيحِ وَفِيهِ دَلَالَةٌ عَلَى أَنَّهُ إِنَّمَا اسْتَعَاذَ مِنْ فِتْنَةِ الْفَقْرِ دُونَ حَالِ الْفَقْرِ وَمَنْ فِتْنَةِ الْغِنَى دُونَ حَالِ الْغِنَى وَأَمَّا قَوْلُهُ إِنْ كَانَ قَالَهُ أَحْيِنِي مِسْكِينًا وَأَمِتْنِي مِسْكِينًا فَهُوَ إِنْ صَحَّ طَرِيقُهُ وَفِيهِ نَظَرٌ وَالَّذِي يَدُلُّ عَلَيْهِ أَنَّهُ حَالُهُ عِنْدَ وَفَاتِهِ أَنَّهُ لَمْ يَسْأَلْ حَالَ الْمَسْكَنَةِ الَّتِي يَرْجِعُ مَعْنَاهَا إِلَى الْقِلَّةِ وَإِنَّمَا سَأَلَ الْمَسْكَنَةَ الَّتِي يَرْجِعُ مَعْنَاهَا إِلَى الْإِخْبَاتِ وَالتَّوَاضُعِ فَكَأَنَّهُ ﷺ سَأَلَ اللهَ تَعَالَى أَنْ لَا يَجْعَلَهُ مِنَ الْجَبَّارِينَ الْمُتَكَبِّرِينَ وَأَنْ لَا يَحْشُرَهُ فِي زُمْرَةِ الْأَغْنِيَاءِ الْمُتْرَفِينَ قَالَ الْقَعْنَبِيُّ وَالْمَسْكَنَةُ حَرْفٌ مَأْخُوذٌ مِنَ السُّكُونِ يُقَالُ تَمَسْكَنَ الرَّجُلُ إِذَا لَانَ وَتَوَاضَعَ وَخَشَعَ وَمِنْهُ قَوْلُ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ لِلْمُصَلِّي تَيَأَّسْ وَتَمَسْكَنْ يُرِيدُ تَخَشَّعَ وَتَوَاضَعَ لِلَّهِ  

[Machine] I heard Abu Sa'id Al Khudri saying, "O people, fear Allah and do not let delusion lead you to seek sustenance unlawfully. For I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say, 'O Allah, gather me among the group of the poor and do not gather me among the group of the wealthy. Verily, the most wretched of the wretched are those upon whom the poverty of this world and the punishment of the Hereafter are combined.'"  

سَمِعْتُ أَبَا سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيَّ ؓ يَقُولُ يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ اتَّقُوا اللهَ وَلَا يَحْمِلَنَّكُمُ الْغُرَّةُ عَلَى أَنْ تَطْلُبُوا الرِّزْقَ مِنْ غَيْرِ حِلِّهِ فَإِنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ اللهُمَّ احْشُرْنِي فِي زُمْرَةِ الْمَسَاكِينِ وَلَا تَحْشُرْنِي فِي زُمْرَةِ الْأَغْنِيَاءِ فَإِنَّ أَشْقَى الْأَشْقِيَاءِ مَنِ اجْتَمَعَ عَلَيْهِ فَقْرُ الدُّنْيَا وَعَذَابُ الْآخِرَةِ
