The Teaching of the Prophet (Sm)
Once a healthy and strong man went to Prophet Mohammad (sm) and begged alms. Mohammad (sm) was astonished to find an able-bodied man begging. He called the man near him and said, "You look strong and healthy. Why do you beg? Don’t you know that begging is a hateful act?" The man said
in reply, "My wife and children are starving for two days. I looked for a work, but didn’t get any. So to save myself and the members of my family I have come to beg." Hearing this the Prophet said, "What do you have in your house that can be sold?" The man said that he had nothing but a blanket in his house. Prophet Mohammad (sm) asked him to fetch that blanket. When the blanket was brought, the Prophet sold it to one of his Sahabas and gave him half of the price to buy food for the family. With the rest of the money he bought an axe and the Prophet fixed a handle to it. Then he gave it to the beggar and told him to chop wood from the jungle and live by selling it. The prophet forbade him to beg. Henceforth, the man gave up begging and lived by the sweat of his own brow.
