This hadith speaks about the permissibility of begging. It states that acts of begging are lacerations with which a man disfigures his face and thus should be avoided if possible.

This hadith teaches us to preserve our self-respect and dignity by avoiding begging unless absolutely necessary. It also encourages us to have respect for those who are in positions of power and authority, such as rulers, by not taking advantage of them or asking too much from them.
