Original Arabic
وعن أبي هريرة رضي الله عنه أن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم قال:
ليس المسكين الذي يطوف على الناس ترده اللقمة واللقمتان، والتمرة والتمرتان، ولكن المسكين الذي لا يجد غنى يغنيه، ولا يفطن له، فيتصدق عليه، ولا يقوم فيسأل الناس
((متفق عليه)).

Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported:
Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said, "A needy person is not the one who goes from door to door, begging and is turned away with a morsel or two or with a date or two. But a needy person is the one who does not have enough to live upon, and neither from his appearance it occurs that he is needy and should be given alms, nor does he himself beg anything from others." [Al-Bukhari and Muslim].
