Narrated by Bukhari & Muslim · Authentic hadith

عن أبي هريرة رضي الله عنه أَنَّ رسُولَ اللَّه -صَلّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وسَلَّم- قَالَ: «لَيسَ المِسْكِين الَّذِي تَرُدُّهُ التَّمْرَة والتَّمْرَتَان، وَلا اللُّقْمَةُ واللُّقْمَتَان، إِنَّمَا المِسْكِين الَّذِي يَتَعَفَّف».

“Abu Hurayra (may Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Messenger of Allah (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The needy is not the one who can be turned away with a date-fruit or two, or a morsel or two. But, the needy is the one who abstains from begging."”
