Bukhari and Muslim with a chain up to ibn Omar who related this hadith.

BEGGING TO AMASS WEALTH

|H 533

“Whosoever asks people in order to gather a lot of wealth is asking
for a flaming coal, so now let him either gather a little or a lot.”

Muslim with a chain up to Abu Hurairah who related that the Prophet, praise and
peace be upon him, said this.


ASK ONLY FOR ESSENTIALS

|H 534

“Begging inflicts an injury to one's face unless it is to ask a ruler for
something, or to ask for something essential.”
