Explanation of the Hadith: (There is no charity for the rich, nor for one who is strong and healthy)
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : ... So, along with the saying of the Messenger (peace be upon him) in the previous hadith: Jami` at-Tirmidhi 652Hasan (Darussalam), we find that he did the opposite of that. The situation here is like the situation regarding the hadith about the fee for the cupper. However, this hadith, or this second ruling, explains the reason for the Messenger's (peace be upon him) deviation from the rule he established for us: Jami` at-Tirmidhi 652Hasan (Darussalam). The reason was mentioned, and it is both a legal and a logical reason at the same time. So, anyone who has been given some knowledge can be at ease with it, and it facilitates reconciling what he (peace be upon him) did with what he said in that hadith. It was reported from the hadith of Abu Sa'id al-Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to have a man come to him and ask him, and he would give to him. When the man left his presence, he would say to those around him: . They said: O Messenger of Allah, then why do you give to him? Why do you give to him when he is carrying fire? He said (peace be upon him)—and here is the point, and with this the answer and the establishment of the first issue ends—he said: . If the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) had adhered to the rule: Jami` at-Tirmidhi 652Hasan (Darussalam), and did not give to this healthy man or that rich man, he would return to his people and spread among them that the Messenger is stingy: "I asked him and he did not give to me." The harm of spreading the idea of stinginess about the Messenger (peace be upon him) is greater than the harm of giving to a person who might speak ill of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) in ways that should not be said.
The opposite example of what the Messenger did, adhering to the rule stated by the Messenger (peace be upon him):Jami` at-Tirmidhi 652Hasan (Darussalam); if someone comes to youThe questioner : asking you, and it is most likely in your opinion that he is not poor and not in need. =
-- Yes, and upon you be peace, the mercy of Allah, and His blessings. We will raise it. Praise be to Allah. When? --
= For many people in some countries, and not in all countries, have made asking—meaning begging—a profession and a craft. They earn their livelihood from it more—Allah knows best—than the worker who earns by his profession, or by his sweat and his strength. And therefore, they are pleased with the method of this earning. =
-- Do not lock the door, my brother. Leave it open, but put a slipper as a barrier between the door. Yes --
= So, like these askers or beggars, if it is most likely in the opinion of the person in charge that it is not permissible for them to ask; that is because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said in some hadiths:. So, the permissibility of asking is limited in the Shari'ah to the condition that one does not have lunch or dinner. And today—ma sha' Allah!—these who ask people are rich. If it is most likely in the opinion of the person in charge, from whom the beggar is asking, that this person is not in need, and that in reality he is earning by begging; then here the rule applies: Jami` at-Tirmidhi 652Hasan (Darussalam). But this rejected, deprived person might not speak behind the back of the person in charge, but in his face. He might curse him, and he might insult him. But he is not the Messenger of Allah, so that insults and descriptions of stinginess and the like would affect him. So, there is no blame on him; he applies the rule. And it is not permissible for him to deviate from it as the Messenger (peace be upon him) did; because he has a special status over all the worlds; Allah (Mighty and Majestic) preferred him with it over all other people.
If we know this =
-- ... Yes, and upon you be peace, the mercy of Allah, and His blessings. Yes, how? And may Allah reward you with good. How are you? I praise Him and thank Him. May Allah keep you safe. May Allah reward you with good. And today we returned to them for the second time, so they showed us several images... This is an innovation with you, is it not? Praise be to Allah, yes, that is right --
= So, then it is upon us to adhere to the rules. If an action from the Messenger (peace be upon him) comes that contradicts the rule he presented to his Ummah; then the least that can be said about it, or the last thing that can be said about it, is: if it is not possible to reconcile it with the rule, then it is one of his special characteristics (peace be upon him). Al-Hafiz al-Suyuti compiled a large book called "Al-Khasa'is al-Kubra" (The Great Characteristics), and it is a beneficial book, even though it is full and stuffed with things that are not authentic and it is not permissible to attribute them to the Messenger (peace be upon him) as a special characteristic. That is because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) is more noble and higher than being preferred with what is not authentic from him. For example, the hadith mentioned by him and others: "That the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), when he went to the place of relief and then came out, they did not find his excrement on the ground."
The questioner: Does the earth swallow it?
The Shaykh: Ah, so Lady Aisha asked him? And he said to her—as they claimed—:. He mentioned it as a special characteristic, but the hadith is fabricated; so it is not permissible to attribute it to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). And even if it were authentic, it would be a special characteristic, and so on.
Other than that?
Charity is not lawful for the rich nor for the physically fit.
لا صدقة لغنيٍّ ، ولا لذي مرَّةٍ سويٍّCharity is not lawful for the rich nor for the physically fit.
لا صدقة لغنيٍّ ولا لذي مرَّةٍ سويٍّHe left my presence carrying it as fire
لقد خرج من عندي وهو يتأبَّطها نارًاThey ask me, and Allah dislikes stinginess for me.
يسألونني ويكره الله لي البخلCharity is not lawful for the rich nor for the physically fit.
لا صدقة لغنيٍّ ولا لذي مرَّةٍ سويٍّThe opposite example of what the Messenger did, adhering to the rule stated by the Messenger (peace be upon him):
Charity is not lawful for the rich nor for the physically fit.
لا صدقة لغنيٍّ ولا لذي مرَّةٍ سويٍّ-- Yes, and upon you be peace, the mercy of Allah, and His blessings. We will raise it. Praise be to Allah. When? --

They earn their livelihood from it more—Allah knows best—than the worker who earns by his profession, or by his sweat and his strength.

= So, like these askers or beggars, if it is most likely in the opinion of the person in charge that it is not permissible for them to ask; that is because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said in some hadiths:
Whoever asks while he has dinner for the night and lunch for the day—or lunch for the day and dinner for the night—will come on the Day of Resurrection with scratches and cuts on his face
من سأل وعنده عشاء ليلة وغداء يوم - أو غداء يوم وعشاء ليلة - جاء يوم القيامة وعلى وجهه خموشٌ وخدوشٌ وكدوحٌCharity is not lawful for the rich nor for the physically fit.
لا صدقة لغنيٍّ ولا لذي مرَّةٍ سويٍّIf we know this =
-- ... Yes, and upon you be peace, the mercy of Allah, and His blessings. Yes, how? And may Allah reward you with good. How are you? I praise Him and thank Him. May Allah keep you safe. May Allah reward you with good. And today we returned to them for the second time, so they showed us several images... This is an innovation with you, is it not?

Do you not know that we, the prophets, the earth swallows what comes out of us
