Sunan an-Nasai 2598 (Book 23, Hadith 164) #17209
Charity for the Needy

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) taught that charity should be given to those who are in need and not to those who are wealthy or strong enough to earn.

'Ubaidullah bin 'Adiyy bin Al-Khiyar narrated that: two men told him, that they came to the Messenger of Allah asking him for charity. He looked from one to the other and he saw that they were strong. The Messenger of Allah said: "If you want, I will give you, but no rich man or one who is strong and able to earn has a share of it".
أَخْبَرَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ عَلِيٍّ، وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى، قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى، عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي قَالَ، حَدَّثَنِي عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عَدِيِّ بْنِ الْخِيَارِ، ‏.‏ أَنَّ رَجُلَيْنِ، حَدَّثَاهُ أَنَّهُمَا، أَتَيَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ يَسْأَلاَنِهِ مِنَ الصَّدَقَةِ فَقَلَّبَ فِيهِمَا الْبَصَرَ - وَقَالَ مُحَمَّدٌ بَصَرَهُ - فَرَآهُمَا جَلْدَيْنِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ‏ "‏ إِنْ شِئْتُمَا وَلاَ حَظَّ فِيهَا لِغَنِيٍّ وَلاَ لِقَوِيٍّ مُكْتَسِبٍ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith teaches us about the importance of charity and how it should be distributed. The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) taught that charity should be given to those who are in need, such as the poor, widows, orphans, and other vulnerable people. He also said that no rich man or one who is strong and able to earn has a share of it. This means that we should not give charity to people who can afford it themselves or have the ability to work for their own livelihoods. Instead, we should focus on helping those in need by providing them with food, clothing, shelter, education and other necessities of life. We must remember that giving charity is an act of worship which will bring us closer to Allah SWT and reward us both in this world and the hereafter.
