Begging

  • Every man who shall beg, in order to increase his property, God will diminish it.
  • Verily God loveth a Muslim with a family, who is poor, and witholdeth himself from the unlawful and from begging.
  •  Whoso openeth unto himself the door of begging, God will open unto him the door of poverty.
  • Verily it is better for any of you to take your rope and bring a bundle of wood upon your back and sell it, in which case God guardeth your honor than to beg of people, whether they give or not; if they do not give, your reputation suffereth, and you return disappointed; and if they give, it is worse than that, for it layeth you under obligation.
  •  Whoever hath food for a day and a night, it is prohibited for him to beg.
  • Verily it is not right for the rich to ask, nor for a strong, robust person; but it is allowed for the indigent and the infirm.
  • "May I beg from people, O Messenger of God, when necessitous?" Muhammad said, "Do not beg unless absolutely compelled, then only from the virtuous."
