Sayyiduna Qabisah bin Mukhariq (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: I presented myself before the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and asked him for help regarding a debt of guarantee (hamalah). The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Stay with us, and either we will give you something for the hamalah, or we will help you otherwise. Remember this: asking (begging) is not permissible for anyone except for three types of people: One is the person who has to pay off a debt on behalf of others, and then he asks someone for help; when he pays off that debt, he should not take anything more. The second is the person whose (produce or wealth) is struck by a calamity and it destroys his wealth; such a person may ask until he has enough to fulfill his needs (here the narrator is doubtful about a word), then after that he should stop. The third is the person who is afflicted by severe need, until three sensible (here the narrator is doubtful) people from his own tribe testify that now it is permissible for this person to ask (so only these people may ask). Other than this, asking is forbidden, and whoever takes (wealth) in this way will consume it as something unlawful. O Qabisah!"
