Hadith: Acts of begging are lacerations with which a man disfigures his face

Narrated Abdullah ibn Masud Radi Allahu Anhu 

The Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam said: He who begs (from people) when he is affluent will come on the Day of Resurrection with scrapes, scratchings, or lacerations on his face. He was asked: What constitutes affluence, Messenger of Allah? He Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam replied:It is fifty dirhams or its value in gold.

Sunan Abu Dawud, Book 9, 1622-Sahih

Narrated Samurah ibn Jundub Radi Allahu Anhu 

The Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam said Acts of begging are lacerations with which a man disfigures his face, 

so he who wishes may preserve his self-respect, and he who wishes may abandon it; but this does not apply to one who begs from a ruler, or in a situation which makes it necessary.

Sunan Abu Dawud, Book 9, Hadith 1635-Sahih
