Arabic hadith text
أَخْبَرَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ، قَالَ أَنْبَأَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ آدَمَ، عَنْ سُفْيَانَ بْنِ عُيَيْنَةَ، عَنْ دَاوُدَ بْنِ شَابُورَ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ شُعَيْبٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ جَدِّهِ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم " مَنْ سَأَلَ وَلَهُ أَرْبَعُونَ دِرْهَمًا فَهُوَ الْمُلْحِفُ " .
Translation
Ahmad ibn Sulayman reported: Yahya ibn Adam informed us, from Sufyan ibn Uyaynah, from Dawud ibn Shabur, from Amr ibn Shuayb, from his father, from his grandfather, who said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: Whoever asks while he has forty dirhams is one who begs insistently.
Translation notes
The report gives a forty-dirham threshold and characterizes asking at that level as insistent begging.
