Sayyiduna Sahl bin Hanzaliyyah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Whoever begs while he is self-sufficient, then indeed he is only increasing the fire of Hell for himself." It was asked to you, "O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), what is the amount of sufficiency after which begging is not permissible?" He (peace and blessings be upon him) replied: "If he has food for the day and night, or food for the night and day." Imam Abu Bakr (may Allah have mercy on him) says that there are many chapters regarding begging which I have already mentioned in the book Al-Jami'.
