Annoying a Beggar

Annoying a Beggar

The Almighty Allah (S.w.T.) says in Surah al-Baqarah,

 “O you who believe! Do not make your charity worthless by reproach and injury.”

(Surah al-Baqarah 2: 264)

 Allah (S.w.T.) also says,

 “Kind speech and forgiveness is better than charity followed by injury.”

(Surah al-Baqarah 2: 263)

 Like hurting the person by turning ones face away or behaving curtly, or in return for the alms, to force a person to do some labour; or make the charity public and cause him humiliation. Tradition says,

“Those who boast of favours after they have done kindness will not enter Paradise.”

(Layali al-Akhbar)

 In another tradition it is mentioned that,

“Those who boast for being kind on deprived people are cursed in the world and the hereafter. One who does good to his siblings and parents and thinks it as a favour and mentions it, is far from the mercy of Allah (S.w.T.) and His angels and he is near Hell-fire. His supplications are not accepted. His desires are not fulfilled and Allah (S.w.T.) does not look at him with mercy in the life and the hereafter.”
