Hadith 3612
Musnad of Abdullah bin Mas'ood
ENGLISH
It was narrated that ‘Abdullah (رضي الله عنه) said:
The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: "He is not poor (miskeen) who goes around begging or will be happy with a date or two or with a mouthful or two. Rather the poor man (miskeen) is the one who is reluctant to ask people for anything (out of dignity) and no one realises his situation so that they might give him some charity."
