بَابُ مَا جَاءَ فِي الْيَدِ الْعُلْيَا وَالْيَدِ السُّفْلَىChapter: What Has Been Reported Regarding the Upper Hand and the Lower Hand
Hadith 3521
اُردوEn
عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ: ((لَا صَدَقَةَ إِلَّا عَنْ غِنًى، وَالْيَدُ الْعُلْيَا خَيْرٌ مِنَ الْيَدِ السُّفْلَى، وَابْدَأْ بِمَنْ تَعُولُ))
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah, may Allah be pleased with him, that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: Charity should be given after fulfilling one's personal needs; the upper hand is better and superior to the lower hand, and you should begin with those under your care.
