It is narrated from Hazrat Amr bin Shu'aib that Hazrat Humaid bin Abdur Rahman says: Give something to the beggar, even if it is as small as the head of a sparrow (dove).

Hazrat Fatimah bint Hussain narrates from her father that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: The beggar has a right over you, even if he comes riding on a horse.

Hazrat Salim bin Abu Ja'd narrates that Hazrat Isa bin Maryam said: "The beggar has a right over you, even if he comes riding a horse and there is a silver necklace around his neck."

Hazrat Abu Al-Ahwas says that when a beggar comes to you and he intends to pray, or he said (the narrator is in doubt) he intends to perform prayer, then if you have the ability, give charity. Indeed, Allah Almighty has said, "Certainly, he has succeeded who purifies his soul and remembers the name of his Lord and prays." And if he has the ability to give charity before the prayer, then he should give charity.
