Ibn `Umar (May Allah be pleased with them) reported: The Prophet (PBUH) said,
"If one of you would keep
begging (of people) until he meets Allah (on the Day of Resurrection) his face will be without a shred of flesh.''
[Al-Bukhari and Muslim].
Commentary:
The lack of flesh from the face is either metaphorically indicative of disgrace and wretchedness, or it
would factually happen as a symptom of sinning and the punishment thereof. This seems to be more plausible.
Aversion against begging has been fomented in this Hadith because it brings shame both in this world and the
Hereafter.

Ibn `Umar (May Allah be pleased with them) reported: While Messenger of Allah (PBUH) was on his pulpit
(in the mosque) delivering a Khutbah (religious talk) about Sadaqah (charity) and begging, he said,
"The upper hand
is better than the lower hand, the upper hand is the one which gives and the lower hand is the begging one.''
[Al-Bukhari and Muslim].

Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said,
"He who begs to
increase his riches is in fact asking only for a live coal. It is up to him to decrease it or increase it.''
[Muslim].
Commentary:
We come to know that begging without a pressing need is such a disgraceful crime that it brings one
to Hell-fire. What a pity that beggary prevails among the followers of a religion which brands it as an abominable
crime! It is extremely pitiable and lamentable that Muslims are ignorant of and indifferent to Islamic teachings.

Samurah bin Jundub (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said,
"Begging is
a cut that a person inflicts upon his face; except for asking a ruler, or under the stress of circumstances from which
there is no escape.''
[At-Tirmidhi].
Commentary:
To submit his demand to the Head of state means that if a man deserves help, he should go to the
public treasury which exists in an Islamic country so as to fulfill the needs of the needy gracefully. If his access to it
is not possible, he is free to put his demand to others as well.

Ibn Mas`ud (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said,
"He who suffers
poverty and seeks relief from people, he will not be relieved; but he who seeks relief from Allah Alone, he will be
relieved sooner or later.''
[Abu Dawud and At-Tirmidhi].
Commentary:
In this Hadith, it has been suggested that a man in need should turn to Allah Alone and not to human
beings because He Alone meets the needs of all creatures. Yet, if the situation and need so demand, he may also
resort to people, but he should have the firm conviction that their co-operation and help depend on the Will of Allah.

Thauban (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said,
"He who guarantees me
that he will not beg anything from anyone, I will guarantee him (to enter) Jannah.
'' I said, "I give you the guarantee.''
