Arabic hadith text

أَخْبَرَنَا هَنَّادُ بْنُ السَّرِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي بَكْرٍ، عَنْ أَبِي حَصِينٍ، عَنْ سَالِمٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏ "‏ لاَ تَحِلُّ الصَّدَقَةُ لِغَنِيٍّ وَلاَ لِذِي مِرَّةٍ سَوِيٍّ ‏"‏ ‏.‏

Translation

Hannad ibn al-Sari reported from Abu Bakr, from Abu Husayn, from Salim, from Abu Hurayrah, who said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: Charity is not lawful for a rich person, nor for someone strong and physically sound.

Translation notes
  • The source names two categories explicitly: a wealthy person and a person possessing strength and sound health.
