"‏ مَنْ سَأَلَ وَلَهُ أَرْبَعُونَ دِرْهَمًا فَهُوَ الْمُلْحِفُ ‏"

Explanation in Arabic

أخبر النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم أن من طلب من الناس مالًا وهو لديه أربعون درهمًا فهو المُلِحُّ في المسألة؛ لأنها كانت تغني في العصر النبوي، فمن ملك ما يغنيه فلا يحل له أن يسأل.

  • تحريم الإلحاح في سؤال الناس.
  • بيان المقدار الذي به يثبت وصف الإلحاح، وهو أربعون درهمًا.
  • هذا المقدار يختلف باختلاف الزمان والمكان.
