It is narrated from Hazrat Ibn Abi Laila that a beggar came to Hazrat Abu Dharr, so he gave him something. People said to him, "Why did you give him (something) even though he is well-off?" He replied, "He is a beggar, and every beggar has a right. And on the Day of Resurrection, they will surely wish (that they had not begged). Indeed, in their hands (on the Day of Resurrection) there will be a hot stone."

Hazrat Ata bin Yasar says that the saying of the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) has reached me that he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Whoever asks (begs) in such a state that he possesses forty dirhams or wealth equal to it, then he is one who clings to people and persistently begs from them.

It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Saeed that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Zakat is not lawful for any wealthy person except in three cases: either he is (fighting) in the way of Allah, or he is a traveler, or Zakat is given to his neighbor and he gives it to him as a gift.
