Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Whoever begs (from people) while he has enough to make him self-sufficient will come on the Day of Resurrection with scratches or wounds on his face." It was said: "O Messenger of Allah, what is the limit of self-sufficiency?" He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Fifty dirhams or its value in gold." Yahya bin Adam says: Abdullah bin Uthman said to Sufyan: "My recollection is that Shu'bah did not narrate from Hakim bin Jubayr." Sufyan al-Thawri said: "Zubayd narrated this hadith to us from Muhammad bin Abdurrahman bin Yazid."

Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id al-Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Zakah is not lawful for a wealthy person except in five cases: one who fights in the path of Allah, the collector ('amil) of zakah, a debtor (who is unable to pay), a man who bought it with his own money, or a man who has a poor neighbour to whom charity was given, and then that poor man gave it as a gift to a wealthy person." This hadith is sahih on the condition of the two Shaykhs, but they did not record it because Malik bin Anas narrated it mursal from Zayd bin Aslam.

It is narrated from Imam Malik that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Zakah is not lawful for a wealthy person except for five people," and then the narrator mentioned the complete hadith. This is sahih in my view, as I mentioned in the preface of the book: if a trustworthy narrator reports it with a connected chain, it is his word that is relied upon.
