Chapter: On Abstinence From Begging.
Hadith 1648
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مَسْلَمَةَ ، عَنْ مَالِكٍ ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ ، أَنّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ وَهُوَ عَلَى الْمِنْبَرِ وَهُوَ يَذْكُرُ الصَّدَقَةَ وَالتَّعَفُّفَ مِنْهَا وَالْمَسْأَلَةَ : " الْيَدُ الْعُلْيَا خَيْرٌ مِنَ الْيَدِ السُّفْلَى ، وَالْيَدُ الْعُلْيَا الْمُنْفِقَةُ وَالسُّفْلَى السَّائِلَةُ " . قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُد : اخْتُلِفَ عَلَى أَيُّوبَ ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ فِي هَذَا الْحَدِيثِ ، قَالَ عَبْدُ الْوَارِثِ : " الْيَدُ الْعُلْيَا الْمُتَعَفِّفَةُ " ، وقَالَ أَكْثَرُهُمْ : عَنْ حَمَّادِ بْنِ زَيْدٍ ، عَنْ أَيُّوبَ ، " الْيَدُ الْعُلْيَا الْمُنْفِقَةُ " ، وقَالَ وَاحِدٌ : عَنْ حَمَّادٍ ، " الْمُتَعَفِّفَةُ " .
Abdullah bin Umar reported that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said when he was on the pulpit speaking of sadaqah and abstention from it and begging: the upper hand is better than the lower one, the upper being the one which bestows and the lower which begs. Abu Dawud said: The version of this tradition narrated by Ayyub from Nafi is disputed. The narrator Abd al-Warith said in his version: `The upper hand is the one which abstains from begging;” but most of the narrators have narrated from Hammad bin Zaid from Ayyub the words “ The upper hand is the one which bestows. ” A narrator from Hammad said in his version “the one which abstains from begging. ”
