"The Messenger of Allah said: "Every time a man begs, it will turn into lacerations on his face (on the Day of Resurrection). So whoever wants his face to be lacerated (let him ask), and whoever does not want that (let him not ask): except in the case of a man who asks a Sultan, or he asks when he can find no alternative."'  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِنَّ الْمَسَائِلَ كُدُوحٌ يَكْدَحُ بِهَا الرَّجُلُ وَجْهَهُ فَمَنْ شَاءَ كَدَحَ وَجْهَهُ وَمَنْ شَاءَ تَرَكَ إِلاَّ أَنْ يَسْأَلَ الرَّجُلُ ذَا سُلْطَانٍ أَوْ شَيْئًا لاَ يَجِدُ مِنْهُ بُدًّا  

"The Messenger of Allah said: 'Begging will be but lacerations on a man's face (on the Day of Resurrection). Unless he asks a man in authority or when he has no alternative."'  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ الْمَسْأَلَةُ كَدٌّ يَكُدُّ بِهَا الرَّجُلُ وَجْهَهُ إِلاَّ أَنْ يَسْأَلَ الرَّجُلُ سُلْطَانًا أَوْ فِي أَمْرٍ لاَ بُدَّ مِنْهُ  

The Prophet ﷺ said: Acts of begging are lacerations with which a man disfigures his face, so he who wishes may preserve his self-respect, and he who wishes may abandon it; but this does not apply to one who begs from a ruler, or in a situation which makes it necessary.  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ الْمَسَائِلُ كُدُوحٌ يَكْدَحُ بِهَا الرَّجُلُ وَجْهَهُ فَمَنْ شَاءَ أَبْقَى عَلَى وَجْهِهِ وَمَنْ شَاءَ تَرَكَ إِلاَّ أَنْ يَسْأَلَ الرَّجُلُ ذَا سُلْطَانٍ أَوْ فِي أَمْرٍ لاَ يَجِدُ مِنْهُ بُدًّا  

the Messenger of Allah said: "Asking is a labor that toils on a man's face, except if a man asks for something from the Sultan (ruler), or he asks for something that he cannot do without."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِنَّ الْمَسْأَلَةَ كَدٌّ يَكُدُّ بِهَا الرَّجُلُ وَجْهَهُ إِلاَّ أَنْ يَسْأَلَ الرَّجُلُ سُلْطَانًا أَوْ فِي أَمْرٍ لاَ بُدَّ مِنْهُ  

The Prophet ﷺ said: Acts of begging are lacerations with which a man disfigures his face, so he who wishes may preserve his self-respect, and he who wishes may abandon it; but this does not apply to one who begs from a ruler, or in a situation which makes it necessary. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 1639)   

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ الْمَسَائِلُ كُدُوحٌ يَكْدَحُ بِهَا الرَّجُلُ وَجْهَهُ فَمَنْ شَاءَ أَبْقَى عَلَى وَجْهِهِ وَمَنْ شَاءَ تَرَكَ إِلَّا أَنْ يَسْأَلَ الرَّجُلُ ذَا سُلْطَانٍ أَوْ يَسْأَلَ فِي الْأَمْرِ لَا يَجِدُ مِنْهُ بُدًّا قَالَ فَحَدَّثْتُ بِهِ الْحَجَّاجَ فَقَالَ سَلْنِي فَإِنِّي ذُو سُلْطَانٍ  

[Machine] From the Messenger of Allah ﷺ who said, "Yes, I heard him say, 'The questions are like a sharp knife that a person sharpens his face with. So whoever wants to keep his face, let him not ask them, and whoever wants to leave it, except for when a man asks a person of authority or asks about a necessary matter."  

عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ بَلَى قَالَ سَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ الْمَسَائِلُ كَدٌّ يَكُدُّ بِهَا الرَّجُلُ وَجْهَهُ فَمَنْ شَاءَ أَبْقَى عَلَى وَجْهِهِ وَمَنْ شَاءَ تَرَكَإِلَّا أَنْ يَسْأَلَ رَجُلٌ ذَا سُلْطَانٍ أَوْ يَسْأَلَ فِي أَمْرٍ لَا بُدَّ مِنْهُ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "Indeed, these matters are so difficult that they can cause one of you to lose his face." Ibn Ja'far said: "These are burdens that a man bears unless he asks a person of authority or in a matter that is necessary."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِنَّ هَذِهِ الْمَسَائِلَ كَدٌّ يَكُدُّ بِهَا أَحَدُكُمْ وَجْهَهُ وَقَالَ ابْنُ جَعْفَرٍ كُدُوحٌ يُكْدَحُ بِهَا الرَّجُلُ إِلَّا أَنْ يَسْأَلَ ذَا سُلْطَانٍ أَوْ فِي أَمْرٍ لَا بُدَّ مِنْهُ  

The Prophet ﷺ said: Acts of begging are lacerations with which a man disfigures his face, so he who wishes may preserve his self-respect, and he who wishes may abandon it; but this does not apply to one who begs from a ruler, or in a situation which makes it necessary. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 1639)  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ «إِنَّمَا الْمَسَائِلُ كُدُوحٌ يَكْدَحُ بِهَا الرَّجُلُ وَجْهَهُ فَمَنْ شَاءَ أَبْقَى عَلَى وَجْهِهِ وَمَنْ شَاءَ تَرَكَ إِلَّا أَنْ يَسْأَلَ ذَا سُلْطَانٍ أَوْ فِي أَمْرٍ لَا يَجِدُ مِنْهُ بُدًّا»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "The issues are traps that a person takes upon his face, so whoever wishes can keep them and whoever wishes can leave them."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «الْمَسَائِلُ كَدٌّ يَكُدُّ الرَّجُلُ بِهَا وَجْهَهُ فَمَنْ شَاءَ أَبْقَى عَلَى وَجْهِهِ وَمَنْ شَاءَ تَرَكَ»  

The Prophet ﷺ said: Acts of begging are lacerations with which a man disfigures his face, so he who wishes may preserve his self-respect, and he who wishes may abandon it; but this does not apply to one who begs from a ruler, or in a situation which makes it necessary. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 1639)   

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ «إِنَّمَا الْمَسَائِلُ كُدُوحٌ يَكْدَحُ بِهَا الرَّجُلُ وَجْهَهُ فَمَنْ شَاءَ أَبْقَى عَلَى وَجْهِهِ وَمَنْ شَاءَ تَرَكَ إِلَّا أَنْ يَسْأَلَ ذَا سُلْطَانٍ أَوْ فِي أَمْرٍ لَا يَجِدُ مِنْهُ بُدًّا»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "Indeed, these matters are like a heavy burden that weighs upon the face of someone, unless a man with authority or a necessary matter asks about them."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «إِنَّ هَذِهِ الْمَسَائِلَ كَدٌّ يَكُدُّ بِهَا أَحَدُكُمْ وَجْهَهُ إِلَّا أَنْ يَسْأَلَ الرَّجُلُ ذَا سُلْطَانٍ أَوْ أَمْرًا لَا بُدَّ لَهُ مِنْهَ»  

"The Messenger of Allah said: 'Begging will be but lacerations on a man's face (on the Day of Resurrection). Unless he asks a man in authority or when he has no alternative."' (Using translation from Nasāʾī 2600)   

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «هَذِهِ الْمَسَائِلُ كَدٌّ يَكُدُّ بِهَا الرَّجُلُ وَجْهَهُ إِلَّا أَنْ يَسْأَلَ ذَا سُلْطَانٍ أَوْ فِي أَمْرٍ لَا يَجِدُ مِنْهُ بُدًّا»

[Machine] That the Prophet ﷺ said, "Issues are like burdens that a person carries on his face. Whoever wants, he can keep them on his face, and whoever wants, he can leave them, except if a person asks about something that he cannot find a way out of or has authority over." Zaid ibn 'Uqbah said, "So I narrated it to Al-Hajjaj ibn Yusuf and he said, 'Ask me, for I have authority.'"  

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ الْمَسَائِلُ كُدُوحٌ يَكْدَحُ بِهَا الرَّجُلُ وَجْهَهُ فَمَنْ شَاءَ أَبْقَى عَلَى وَجْهِهِ وَمَنْ شَاءَ تَرَكَ إِلَّا أَنْ يَسْأَلَ الرَّجُلُ فِي أَمْرٍ لَا يَجِدُ مِنْهُ بُدًّا أَوْ ذَا سُلْطَانٍ قَالَ زَيْدُ بْنُ عُقْبَةَ فَحَدَّثْتُ بِهِ الْحَجَّاجَ بْنَ يُوسُفَ فَقَالَ سَلْنِي فَإِنِّي ذُو سُلْطَانٍ  

"المسائل كَدُوحٌ يَكدَحُ بها الرجلُ وجْهَهُ، فمن شاءَ أبقى على وجْهِهِ، ومن شاءَ تركَ إِلا أَن يسألَ الرَّجلُ ذا سلطان أَو في أَمرٍ لا يجدُ منه بُدًا" .  

"The Messenger of Allah said: 'Begging will be but lacerations on a man's face (on the Day of Resurrection). Unless he asks a man in authority or when he has no alternative."' (Using translation from Nasāʾī 2600)   

"إِنَّ الْمَسْأَلَةَ كَدٌّ يَكُدُّ بِهَا الرَّجُلُ وَجْهَهُ، إِلَّا أَنْ يَسْأَلَ - الرَّجُلُ سُلْطَانًا، أَوْ فِى أَمْرٍ لا بُدَّ مِنْهُ".
