Daily Hadith Sat 05-Mar-2011 - 01 Rabbi al-Thanni 1432 حديث اليوم
Contentment and Self-esteem and avoidance of unnecessary begging of People
Ibn Mas`ud (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said, "He who suffers poverty and seeks relief from people, he will not be relieved; but he who seeks relief from Allah Alone, he will be relieved sooner or later."[Abu Dawud and At-Tirmidhi].


Commentary:
In this Hadith, it has been suggested that a man in need should turn to Allah Alone and not to human beings because He Alone meets the needs of all creatures. Yet, if the situation and need so demand, he may also resort to people, but he should have the firm conviction that their co-operation and help depend on the Will of Allah.

وعن ابن مسعودٍ رضيَ اللَّه عنه قال : قال رسُولُ اللَّه صَلّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وسَلَّم : « مَنْ أَصابَتْهُ فَاقَةٌ فَأَنْزَلَهَا بِالنَّاسِ لَمْ تُسَدَّ فاقَتُهُ ، وَمَنْ أَنْزَلها باللَّه ، فَيُوشِكُ اللَّه لَهُ بِرِزقٍ عاجِلٍ أَوْ آجِلِ » رواهُ أبو داود ، والترمذي وقال : حديث حسن .« يُوشكُ » بكسر الشين : أَي يُسرِعُ .
