[Machine] I carried a load and came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ to ask him about it. He said, "Stay, O Qabisa, until the Sadaqah comes and we give you from it." Then he said, "O Qabisa, indeed, asking is not permissible except for one of three: a man who carries a load and the load becomes overwhelming for him, and then he gives it up, and a man who is afflicted with poverty until he mentions it to three people from his people who can testify that so-and-so is afflicted with poverty, and the affliction becomes overwhelming for him until he acquires enough for a livelihood, or he said, enough to fulfill his needs, and there is no asking after this, O Qabisa. Anything obtained through begging is improper, and the one who consumes it is consuming something improper."
تَحَمَّلْتُ بِحَمَالَةٍ فَأَتَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ أَسْأَلُهُ فِيهَا قَالَ «أَقِم يَا قَبِيصَةُ حَتَّى تَجِيءَ الصَّدَقَةُ فَنُعْطِيكَ مِنْهَا» ثُمَّ قَالَ يَا قَبِيصَةَ إِنَّ الْمَسْأَلَةَ لَا تَحِلُّ إِلَّا لِأَحَدِ ثَلَاثٍ رَجُلٌ تَحَمَّلَ بِحَمَالَةٍ فَحَلَّتْ لَهُ الْمَسْأَلَةُ حَتَّى يُصِيبَهَا ثُمَّ يُمْسِكَ وَرَجُلٌ أَصَابَتْهُ فَاقَةٌ حَتَّى يَقُولَ ثَلَاثَةٌ مِنَ ذَوِي الْحِجَا مِنْ قَوْمِهِ قَدْ أَصَابَتْ فُلَانًا فَاقَةٌ فَحَلَّتْ لَهُ الْمَسْأَلَةُ حَتَّى يُصِيبَ قِوَامًا مِنْ عَيْشٍ أَو قَالَ سِدَادًا مِنْ عَيْشٍ فَمَا سِوَاهُنَّ الْمَسْأَلَةُ يَا قَبِيصَةُ سُحْتٌ يَأْكُلُهَا صَاحِبُهَا سُحْتًا
