Sunan Abi Dawud 1634 (Book 9, Hadith 79) #21926
Charity and the Physically Strong

SUMMARY: Charity should not be given to those who are wealthy or physically strong.

Narrated Abdullah ibn Amr : The Prophet said: Sadaqah may not be given to a rich man or to one who has strength and is sound in limbs. Abu Dawud said: This tradition has been transmitted by Sufyan from Sa'd bin Ibrahim like the tradition narrated by Ibrahim. The version of Shu'bah from Sa'd has: "for a man who has strength and is robust". The other version of this tradition from the Prophet have the words "for a man who has strength and is robust". Others have "for a man who has strength and is sound in limbs"'.Ata bin Zuhair said that he had met 'Abd Allah bin 'Amr who said: "Sadaqah is not lawful for a strong man nor for a man who has strength and is sound in limbs".
حَدَّثَنَا عَبَّادُ بْنُ مُوسَى الأَنْبَارِيُّ الْخُتَّلِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ، - يَعْنِي ابْنَ سَعْدٍ - قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي أَبِي، عَنْ رَيْحَانَ بْنِ يَزِيدَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ قَالَ ‏"‏ لاَ تَحِلُّ الصَّدَقَةُ لِغَنِيٍّ وَلاَ لِذِي مِرَّةٍ سَوِيٍّ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ رَوَاهُ سُفْيَانُ عَنْ سَعْدِ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ كَمَا قَالَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ وَرَوَاهُ شُعْبَةُ عَنْ سَعْدٍ قَالَ ‏"‏ لِذِي مِرَّةٍ قَوِيٍّ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ وَالأَحَادِيثُ الأُخَرُ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ بَعْضُهَا ‏"‏ لِذِي مِرَّةٍ قَوِيٍّ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ وَبَعْضُهَا ‏"‏ لِذِي مِرَّةٍ سَوِيٍّ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ وَقَالَ عَطَاءُ بْنُ زُهَيْرٍ إِنَّهُ لَقِيَ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ عَمْرٍو فَقَالَ إِنَّ الصَّدَقَةَ لاَ تَحِلُّ لِقَوِيٍّ وَلاَ لِذِي مِرَّةٍ سَوِيٍّ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about charity and how it should not be given to those who are wealthy or physically strong. The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said that charity should not be given to a rich man or one who has strength and is sound in limbs. This means that charity should only go towards those who need it most - people who are poor or weak in some way. It teaches us that we must think of others before ourselves when giving charity and make sure we give it to those in need rather than just anyone. We must also remember that even if someone looks like they have enough money or physical strength, they may still need help in other ways such as emotional support or guidance. Therefore, we must always keep an open mind when giving charity so that everyone can benefit from our generosity.
