bring a bundle of wood (from the forest) on his back and sell it, and<br />

Allah will save his face because of it, rather than to ask the people<br />

who may give him or may not."264<br />

And 'Abdullah <strong>Ibn</strong> 'Amr (rat/ryA/ldhu 'anhumd) said that Allah's<br />

Messenger () said: "It is not permissible to give charity to a person<br />

not in need, or to a person who is strong and fit (able to earn a<br />

Examples of $ii.ft Violations<br />

One night, Abu Bakr al-ShiblI walked back and forth on the roof<br />

all night saying: "If you 'my se!f' fall asleep I will throw you from the<br />

top of the building." He continued to do so until the morning.<br />

This man has committed two violations:<br />

1. First: He risked himself. If he had fallen asleep he would have<br />

fallen from the top of the roo£ And had he fulfilled his promise<br />

of throwing himself intentionally that would have been a more<br />

serious sin.<br />

2. Second: He deprived himself from sleeping. Allah's Messenger<br />

() said: "Your body has rights over you, your wife has a right<br />

over you and your eye (sleeping) has a right over you."<br />
