The sayings of our beloved Prophet Muhammad (blessings and peace be upon him)
“The poor person is not the one who goes round to the people and begs, but the poor is that who has not enough to satisfy his needs and whose condition is not known to others that others may give him something in charity, and who does not beg of people,”
Hadith No. 973 Narrated by Hazrat Abu Huraira(r.a.) Sahih Bukhari Book 24, Chapter 35
