Arabic hadith text
وَعَنْ أَبِي ذَرٍّ قَالَ: دَعَانِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَهُوَ يَشْتَرِطُ عَلَيَّ: «أَنْ لَا تَسْأَلَ النَّاسَ شَيْئًا» قُلْتُ: نَعَمْ. قَالَ: «وَلَا سَوْطَكَ إِنْ سَقَطَ مِنْكَ حَتَّى تنزل إِلَيْهِ فتأخذه» . رَوَاهُ أَحْمَدُ
Translation
Abu Dharr said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ called me and stipulated to me, ‘Do not ask people for anything.’ I said, ‘Yes.’ He said, ‘Not even for your whip if it falls from you: dismount and go down to take it.’ Ahmad transmitted it.
