Mishkat al-Masabih 1847
وَعَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسلم: «من سَأَلَ النَّاسَ وَلَهُ مَا يُغْنِيهِ جَاءَ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ وَمَسْأَلَتُهُ فِي وَجْهِهِ خُمُوشٌ أَوْ خُدُوشٌ أَوْ كُدُوحٌ» . قِيلَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ وَمَا يُغْنِيهِ؟ قَالَ: «خَمْسُونَ دِرْهَمًا أَوْ قِيمَتُهَا مِنَ الذَّهَبِ» . رَوَاهُ أَبُو دَاوُدَ وَالتِّرْمِذِيُّ وَالنَّسَائِيُّ وَابْنُ مَاجَهْ والدارمي
Abdullah ibn Masud said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, ‘Whoever asks people while having what suffices him will come on the Day of Resurrection with his begging as scratches, abrasions, or lacerations on his face.’ He was asked, ‘Messenger of Allah, what is sufficient?’ He said, ‘Fifty dirhams or their value in gold.’ Abu Dawud, al-Tirmidhi, al-Nasa’i, Ibn Majah, and al-Darimi transmitted it.
Translation notes
The Arabic itself gives three alternative terms for marks on the face and specifies fifty dirhams or their value in gold as sufficiency.
