Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrated that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: "Whoever goes hungry 1 or is in need and conceals it from people, it is incumbent upon Allah, the Mighty and Exalted, to provide him with a year’s sustenance from lawful means."
(1) His statement: "Whoever goes hungry, etc.": This refers to hunger that allows for patience and concealment. Otherwise, scholars have stated that if someone dies of hunger without asking or eating permissible food, even carrion, they die disobedient. (As stated in Al-Mirqat)

قوله
(۱) قوله: من جاع إلخ والمراد بالجوع جوع يتصور معه الصبر، ويجوز فيه الكتمان، وإلا فقد صرح العلماء بأن الشخص إذا مات جوعا ولم يسأل، أو لم يأكل ولو من الميتة يموت عاصيا. كذا في «المرقاة».
