What is the meaning of the Hadith: "Who guarantees me that he will not ask people for anything, and I will guarantee him Paradise," and does it include asking parents, teachers, colleagues, and shopkeepers?

The aforementioned hadith is not found in Sahih al-Bukhari, but other hadiths conveying its meaning have been reported. Among them is the hadith of 'Awf ibn Malik al-Ashja'i in Muslim, which indicates the absolute prohibition of begging, as an indefinite noun in the context of a prohibition denotes generality. Some scholars have inferred from the Prophet's ﷺ secret instruction, "and do not ask people for anything," that it does not pertain to a general obligation, because not everyone can bear it. Likewise, the hadith of Thawban narrated by Abu Dawud confirms this generality, as Thawban complied with the command and did not ask anyone to hand him his whip. Some scholars have restricted this to asking people for needs or money. Refraining from asking people is a perfection, not an obligation, and not everyone can achieve it, unless it is restricted to situations of necessity. Asking is originally forbidden but is permitted out of necessity.
