Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو نُعَيْمٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا الْأَعْمَشُ عَنْ أَبِي صَالِحٍ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَيْسَ الْمِسْكِينُ الَّذِي تَرُدُّهُ الْأُكْلَةُ وَالْأُكْلَتَانِ أَوْ التَّمْرَةُ وَالتَّمْرَتَانِ وَلَكِنْ الْمِسْكِينُ الَّذِي لَا يَسْأَلُ شَيْئًا وَلَا يُفْطَنُ بِمَكَانِهِ فَيُعْطَى.
English Translation
Abu Nu'aym narrated to us, he said: al-A'mash narrated to us, from Abu Salih, from Abu Hurayrah who said: The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said: "The poor person (miskin) is not the one who is turned away by a morsel or two of food, or a date or two, but the poor person is the one who does not ask for anything and whose situation is not noticed so that he may be given."
