The Prophet (ﷺ) said: Sadaqah may not be given to a rich man or to one who has strength and is sound in limbs.
Abu Dawud said: This tradition has been transmitted by Sufyan from Sa’d bin Ibrahim like the tradition narrated by Ibrahim. The version of Shu’bah from Sa’d has: “for a man who has strength and is robust.” The other version of this tradition from the Prophet (ﷺ) have the words “for a man who has strength and is robust.” Others have “for a man who has strength and is sound in limbs.” ‘Ata bin Zuhair said that he had met ‘Abd Allah bin ‘Amr who said: “Sadaqah is not lawful for a strong man nor for a man who has strength and is sound in limbs.”
