Riyad as-Salihin 264

وعنه قال‏:‏ قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم‏:‏ ‏ "‏ ليس المسكين الذي ترده التمرة والتمرتان، ولا اللقمة واللقمتان إنما المسكين الذي يتعفف‏"‏ ‏(‏‏(‏متفق عليه‏)‏‏)‏‏.‏

Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said, "A Miskin (needy) is not the one who can be turned away with a date-fruit or two, or a morsel or two. The true Miskin is one who, despite his poverty, abstains from begging".[Al- Bukhari and Muslim].
