English Translation
Narrated Abu Dharr: A man named al-Harith who was in Syria from Quraysh heard that Abu Dharr was in need, so he sent him three hundred dinars. Abu Dharr said: "Could he not find a servant of Allah more insignificant to Him than me?" I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) say: "Whoever asks (for charity) while he has forty (dirhams) has begged importunately." And the family of Abu Dharr had forty dirhams, forty sheep, and two servants. Abu Bakr ibn 'Ayyash said: "Meaning two servants."
