Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Your Eminence, the father, the questioner says: Is the poor person who does not ask better, or the poor person who asks?
Answer:
Both have a right, but the one who does not ask has a stronger claim, because he is not noticed while he is in need. As for this one, he asks, so the second person asks and the third person asks, and he is given. But that other one is not given anything, so he has the stronger claim.
