أَخْبَرَنَا مَحْمُودُ بْنُ غَيْلَانَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا وَکِيعٌ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ عَنْ عَبْدِ الْمَلِکِ عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ عُقْبَةَ عَنْ سَمُرَةَ بْنِ جُنْدُبٍ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ الْمَسْأَلَةُ کَدٌّ يَکُدُّ بِهَا الرَّجُلُ وَجْهَهُ إِلَّا أَنْ يَسْأَلَ الرَّجُلُ سُلْطَانًا أَوْ فِي أَمْرٍ لَا بُدَّ مِنْهُ
سنن نسائی · Hadith 2606
It was narrated that Samurah bin Jundub said: “The Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم said: ‘Begging will be but lacerations on a man’s face (on the Day of Resurrection), unless he asks a man in authority or when he has no alternative.” (Sahih)
