Khayr Posted May 30, 2007 Salams, I had a funny encounter today with a fellow that that I have been seeing alot of in the past few days/weeks. I think the guy is Afghani or Iranian... Anyways, this guy stands infront of the masjid asking for money right around salat time yet never comes in to pray salat. Last week, I saw him and didn't say anything and give him my change. Well today, I was walking towards him and he was asking everyone for money and this young girl gave him her sub sandwich. The guy saw me and said brother....and asked for money and then to top it all of he said 'look christian girl give me food, you don't give me' and I lost it for a minute. I reminded him that I gave him money last week and that he is always roaming around the same spot asking for more. He then denied that I ever gave him money and accussed me of not helping a 'brother'-SubhanAllah! :mad: Damn crackhead :mad: Anyone had similiar experiences? :mad: P.S. On the one hand I am angry but at the same time I remember that hadith qudsi wherein Allah would question us about not feeding the hungry servant laakin this dude would rather ask for money then pray salat (salat time and they are outside the masjid not praying).

chubacka Posted May 30, 2007 No they dnt pray, we were waiting for jumma salat once when a lady approached us asking for change, one of my friends said "come an pray first" and she jst went away... I pledged never to give these ppl money once after i gave a woman some money then continued walking only to have her son chase after me along the hogh street for so long crying, "please, please" Gosh i was so embarrased. It sounds a bit mean but i dnt tink these ppl are hungry or homeless, they jst seem to be looking for some way to make extra money, however shameless.

Urban Posted May 31, 2007 I usually get approached by gypsies who try and sell gold rings and chains.. I reminded him that I gave him money last week and that he is always roaming around the same spot asking for more. He then denied that I ever gave him money and accussed me of not helping a 'brother'-SubhanAllah! You shouldn't really say that bro.. you gave the money fii sabiilillah, and that's it.. forget about it. Don't tell any one.. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
