[Machine] Kananah, so I said to him, "You are the leader of your people, and they come to you asking, why didn't you give them anything?" He said, "Regarding this, I will not give them anything, not even if I bite my arm until it swells. It is better for him to do that than to ask people in this way. And I will inform you about that. I carried a burden in my people, so I came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said, 'O Messenger of Allah, I carried a burden in my people and I came to you seeking assistance in it.' He said, 'Rather, we will carry it for you, O Kabisah, and we will fulfill it for them from charity.' Then he said, 'O Kabisah, indeed, asking has been prohibited except in three cases: a man who was afflicted by a calamity that destroyed his wealth, so he asks until he secures his livelihood, then he stops; and a man who has a need, until three people from among his people who are knowledgeable regarding Hajj testify that his need has been resolved, then he stops; and a man who carries a burden, so he asks until he reaches his limit, and other than that, it is greed that he is consuming, eating something unlawful.'"
كِنَانَةُ فَقُلْتُ لَهُ أَنْتَ سَيِّدُ قَوْمِكَ وَأَتَوكَ يَسْأَلُونَكَ فَلَمْ تُعْطِهِمْ شَيْئًا قَالَ أَمَّا فِي هَذَا فَلَا أُعْطِي شَيْئًا وَلَوْ عَضَّهُ بِقَدٍّ حَتَّى يَقْحَلَهُ كَانَ خَيْرًا لَهُ مِنْ أَنْ يَسْأَلَ النَّاسَ فِي مِثْلِ هَذَا وَسَأُخْبِرُكَ عَنْ ذَلِكَ إِنِّي تَحَمَّلْتُ بِحَمَالَةٍ فِي قَوْمِي فَأَتَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنِّي تَحَمَّلْتُ بِحَمَالَةٍ فِي قَوْمِي وَأَتَيْتُكَ لِتُعِينَنِي فِيهَا قَالَ «بَلْ نَحْمِلُهَا عَنْكَ يَا قَبِيصَةُ وَنُؤَدِّيهَا إِلَيْهِمْ مِنَ الصَّدَقَةِ» فَقَالَ «يَا قَبِيصَةُ إِنَّ الْمَسْأَلَةَ حُرِّمَتْ إِلَّا فِي إِحْدَى ثَلَاثٍ رَجُلٌ أَصَابَتْهُ جَائِحَةٌ فَاجْتَاحَتْ مَالَهُ فَيَسْأَلُ حَتَّى يُصِيبَ قِوَامًا مِنْ عَيْشِهِ ثُمَّ يُمْسِكُ وَرَجُلٌ أَصَابَتْهُ حَاجَةٌ حَتَّى يَشْهَدَ لَهُ ثَلَاثُ نَفَرٍ مِنْ ذَوِي الْحِجَا مِنْ قَوْمِهِ أَنَّ الْمَسْأَلَةَ قَدْ حَلَّتْ لَهُ فَيَسْأَلُ حَتَّى يُصِيبَ قِوَامًا مِنَ الْعَيْشِ ثُمَّ يُمْسِكُ وَرَجُلٌ تَحَمَّلَ بِحَمَالَةٍ فَيَسْأَلُ حَتَّى إِذَا بَلَغَ أَمْسَكَ وَمَا كَانَ غَيْرُ ذَلِكَ فَإِنَّهُ سُحْتٌ يَأْكُلُهُ سُحْتًا»
