Riyad as-Salihin: Book 0, Hadith 535
Qabisah bin Al-Mukhariq (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: I stood as surety for a debt and came to Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) to seek his help in discharging it. Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said, “Wait till we receive charity and I shall give you out of it.” He (ﷺ) added, “O Qabisah, begging is not lawful except for three people. One who has incurred debt (for assuming guarantee), for him begging is permissible till the guarantee is discharged and he should then refrain; a person whose property has been destroyed by a calamity is allowed to beg till he attains self-sufficiency; a person who meets with dire necessity (due to hunger) provided that three men of understanding from his people affirm the genuineness (of his poverty), for him begging is lawful till he attains means of his subsistence. Other than these, O Qabisah, anything received through begging is unlawful, its recipient devours it unlawfully.”.
وعن أبي بشر قبيصة بن المخارق رضي الله عنه قال: تحملت حمالة رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم أسأله فيها، فقال: ”أقم حتى تأتينا الصدقة فنأمر لك بها” ثم قال: ”يا قبيصة إن المسألة لا تحل إلا لأحد ثلاثة: رجل تحمل حمالة، فحلت له المسألة حتى يصيبها، ثم يمسك. ورجل أصابته جائحة اجتاحت ماله، فحلت له المسألة حتى يصيب قوماً من عيش، أو قال: سداداً من عيش، ورجل أصابته فاقة، حتى يقول ثلاثة من ذوى الحجى من قومه: لقد أصابت فلاناً فاقة، فحملت له المسألة حتى يصيب قواما من عيش، أو قال: سداداً من عيش. فما سواهن من المسألة يا قبيصة سحت، يأكلها صاحبها سحتاً” ((رواه مسلم)).”الحمالة” بفتح الحاء: أن يقع قتال ونحوه بين فريقين، فيصلح إنسان بينهم على مال يتحمله ويلتزمه على نفسه. و”الجائحة” : الآفة تصيب مال الإنسان. و”القوام” بكسر القاف وفتحها: هو ما يقوم به أمر الإنسان من مال ونحوه. و”السداد” بكسر السين: ما يسد حاجة المعوز ويكفيه، و”الفاقة” : الفقر. و”الحجى”: العقل.
