* أَمَّا الفَقِيرُ الَّذِى كَانَتْ حَلُوبَتُهُ *
* وَفْقَ العِيَالِ فَلَمْ يُتْرَكْ لَهُ سَبَدُ *

[As to the فقير whose milch camel was sufficient for his household, and nothing (more) was left to him:] (Ṣ, O, TA:) Aṣ says that the مسكين is better in condition than the فقير: and Yoo says that the فقير is better in condition than the مسكين; and adds, I asked an Arab of the desert, Art thou فقير? and he answered, No, by God, but rather مسكين: (Ṣ, O, TA:) or the former signifies needy, needing, or wanting; a needer; and the latter, one abased by need or want, or otherwise; (Ibn-ʼArafeh, O, Ḳ;) who, if abased by need or want, may lawfully receive of the poor-rate; but if abased otherwise than by need or want, he may not receive of the poorrate; for he may be rich: (Ibn-ʼArafeh:) [الفَقِيرُ إِلَى ٱللّٰهِ the needer of God, i. e., of God's help, &c., and الفَقِيرُ إِلَى رَحْمَةِ ٱللّٰهِ the needer of the mercy of God, are epithets which a man often writes before his name:] it is said in the Ḳur [xxxv. 16], أَنْتُمُ الفُقَرَآءُ إِلَى ٱللّٰهِ وَٱللّٰهُ هُوَ ٱلْغَنِىُّ ٱلْحَمِيدُ, which is explained as meaning Ye are the needers, or they who stand in need, of God: [and God, He is the Self-sufficient, the Praised in every case:] (O,* TA: [see also the Ḳur xxviii. 24:]) or فقير signifies one who is crippled, or deprived of the power of motion, by disease, or who suffers from a protracted disease, being weak, and who has no trade; and one who has a mean trade that does not suffice for his need; and مسكين, a beggar, who has a trade that stands in some stead, (حِرْفَةٌ تَقَعُ مَوْقِعًا,) but does not cause him and his household to be without want; (Esh-Sháfiʼee, T, O, Ḳ;) so that the former is in a harder condition than the latter accord. to Esh-Sháfiʼee; (T;) and it seems that he is called فقير because of crippleness, or protracted disease, which prevents his freely employing himself in making gain: (Khálid Ibn-Yezeed:) Aṣ also says that the latter is in a better condition than the former; (Ṣ, O, Ḳ;) and so says Aḥmad Ibn-ʼObeyd: (TA:) and as to the verse of Er-Rá'ee, cited above, it is said to mean that the person there mentioned had a milch camel in former times, but possessed it no longer, and that لَمْ يُتْرَكْ لَهُ سَبَد means that nothing was left to him: (Mgh:) the pl. of the latter epithet is also applied in the Ḳur xviii. 78 to men possessing a ship, or boat, which is worth a considerable sum; (Mgh;) whence Aboo-Bekr holds the opinion of Aṣ to be correct: (TA:) but it is urged in reply, that these men were hirers, not owners, of the vessel, as appears from one reading, [app. يُعَمَّلُونَ for يَعْمَلُونَ,] with teshdeed: (TA:) or the former signifies one who has neither property nor gain that suffices for his need; and the latter, one who has property or gain not sufficient for him: or, as some say, the converse is the truth: (Bḍ in ix. 60:) or both signify the same, (IAạr, Ṣ, Ḳ,) one who possesses nothing: (IAạr, Ṣ:) or when they are used together, they differ in signification; and when used separately, they both [sometimes] signify the same: (El-Bedr El-Karáfee:) [see more voce مِسْكِينٌ:] fem. with ة {فَقِيرَةٌ: (Mṣb, Ḳ:) pl. masc. فُقَرَآءُ; (Mṣb, Ḳ;) pl. fem. فَقَائِرُ, (Ḳ,) and فُقَرَآءُ (Lḥ, Mṣb, TA) like the masc., [said to be] the only instance of the kind except سُفَهَآءُ as pl. of سَفِيهَةٌ; (Mṣb;) [though فُقَهَآءُ, and perhaps some other instances, should be added;] but ISd says, I know not how this is. (TA.)
