Mishkat al-Masabih, 1853

Ibn al-Firasi said that al-Firasi asked God's messenger whether he might beg, and the Prophet (ﷺ) replied, “No; but if there is no escape from it, beg from the upright.” Abu Dawud and Nasa’i transmitted it.

عَنِ ابْنِ الْفِرَاسِيِّ أَنَّ الْفِرَاسِيَّ قَالَ: قُلْتُ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَسْأَلُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ؟ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «لَا وَإِن كنت لابد فسل الصَّالِحين» . رَوَاهُ أَبُو دَاوُد وَالنَّسَائِيّ
