EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the dangers of begging from people too often. It was narrated by Hamza son of 'Abdullah who reported on the authority of his father that the Messenger of Allah said that when a man is always asking for something from other people, he will meet Allah in a state where there will be no flesh on his face. This means that if someone begs too much and does not work hard to earn what they need, they may end up with nothing and be punished by Allah. The lesson here is to work hard and not rely on others for help all the time. We should also remember to be generous with those who are in need and help them out whenever we can.
