Abdullah bin Muslima al-Qa'nabi عبد الله بن مسلمة بن قعنب القعنبي · The Book of Zakah

"The poor man (Miskin) is not the one who goes around asking people and they send him away with a morsel or two, of a date or two. "They said: "Then what does poor (Mishkin) mean?" He said: "The one who does not possess independence of means and no one notices him to give charity to him, and he does not stand and ask of people."
