"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 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)  

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»

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ «إِنَّمَا هَذِهِ الْمَسَائِلُ كَدٌّ يَكُدُّ بِهَا الرَّجُلُ وَجْهَهُ فَمَنْ شَاءَ أَبْقَى عَلَى وَجْهِهِ وَمَنْ شَاءَ تَرَكَ إِلَّا أَنَّ يَسْأَلَ الرَّجُلُ ذَا سُلْطَانٍ أَوْ فِي أَمْرٍ لَا بُدَّ مِنْهُ»  

[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" .
