[Machine] A man came to the Prophet ﷺ and complained to him about poverty. Then he returned and the Prophet said to him, "Go until you find something." He went and came back with a blanket and a bowl, and said, "O Messenger of Allah, they used to sleep on this blanket and wear it, and they used to drink from this bowl." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Who will take these from me for a dirham?" A man said, "I will, O Messenger of Allah." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Who will give more than a dirham?" A man said, "I will take them for two dirhams." The Prophet ﷺ said, "They are yours." Then he called the man and said to him, "Buy a dirham bundle and a dirham of food for your family." He did so and then returned to the Prophet ﷺ. The Prophet ﷺ said to him, "Go to this valley and do not leave any travelers without helping them, do not pass by any thorns without removing them, and do not bring me anything for fifteen days." He said, "I went and helped ten people." The Prophet ﷺ said, "Go and buy five dirhams of food for your family." The man said, "O Messenger of Allah, Allah has blessed me in what you have commanded me to do." The Prophet ﷺ said, "This is better for you than coming on the Day of Judgment with a dot on your face. Indeed, asking for help is only suitable for three types of people: someone with a painful wound, someone who is burdened with excessive debt, or someone who is extremely poor. The scholar said, "If he cannot fulfill his needs except with 200 or 1,000, then give him the minimum amount, as stated in the hadith of Qabeesah ibn Al-Mukhariq from the Prophet ﷺ, until he can support himself or have a sufficient livelihood. And with Allah is success."
