hadith 4219
Imam Ali (AS) said, Give the beggar before he asks, for indeed if you make it necessary for him to ask, then you will have taken from his dignity that which is greater than what you have given him.
الإمامُ عليٌّ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ) : اِبْدأِ السّائِلَ بِالنَّوالِ قَبْلَ السُّؤالِ فَإنَّكَ إنْ أحْوَجْتَهُ إلى سُؤالِكَ أخَذْتَ مِنْ حُرِّ وَجْهِهِ أفْضَلَ مِمّا أعْطَيْتَهُ
